ISO and GRC certification consulting in Pune

ISO and GRC certification in Pune at a glance

Pune's certification demand comes from two directions. In Hinjewadi's Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park, home to SEEPZ's Pune cluster office, SEZ campuses such as Embassy Tech Zone and Qubix serve overseas clients that send security questionnaires. Along MIDC's Chakan, Ranjangaon, Talegaon and Pimpri-Chinchwad areas, auto components and engineering suppliers answer vehicle makers' quality requirements, with piped natural gas available in several of them. MIDC also plans a logistics park at Chakan and a data-centre park at Talegaon. National law and accreditation are covered on the India page. Sterling serves Pune from its Mumbai office, with 20+ years of experience, 8,100+ client engagements in 60+ countries, and Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement. Accredited certification bodies issue the certificates.

Pune pairs a large IT and services base with an automotive and engineering belt. SEEPZ's Pune cluster office sits in Hinjewadi's Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park and oversees SEZs in Pune, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Nanded and Satara districts, while MIDC lists its Pune-Chakan-Talegaon-Satara land for data centres, engineering, auto components, electronics, food processing and logistics.
