As far as innovation and technology is concerned Pune ranks right up there along with Bangalore. More entrepreneurial ventures are from Pune as compared to Mumbai in connection with Web and Technology. There is a huge talentpool of engineers. Mumbai is more of a corporate capital. POCC is doing a great job in bringing everyone together and channelizing the efforts of Pune entrepreneurs.

Well let’s see..

1. We are an innovation hotbed in tech, and as if that wasn’t enough,
2. Pune OpenCoffee Club (550+) energetic Volunteers, Startups, Entrepreneurs
3. Doing it in Pune will definitely draw out techies in numbers for Startup Shotgun

Practical reasons,
1. Pune’s a lot cheaper to stay, even if the venue is in the heart of the city
2. A lot easier to get around, the traffic isn’t a showstopper (yet)
3. Great weather in Dec – Jan, not so bad in June

Combination of ‘decent lifestyle at reasonable cost’ and ‘proximity to Mumbai’ makes Pune a very good choice for entrepreneurs.
Mumbai is the city where most of the businesses (and advertisers for B2C businesses) have their headquarters. Business Development guys have to make frequent trips to Mumbai to get business. However given the high cost of living and operating an office in that city makes it difficult for entreprenuers who are bootstrapping their finances.

Coupled with the amazing technical talent available in the city because of the numerous colleges in the city, it makes perfect sense to have operations in Pune and keep doing short trips to Mumbai for business.
