Review of the CCI France - India's “Spotlight Puducherry” event on June 02, 2022, where the spotlight is on the various companies based in Pondicherry, their stories, their successes but also the obstacles they face.
Damien Berville, President of CEFP, talks about his experience at the head of Manureva Digital Solutions India Pvt. Ltd. and its rapid growth. Today, the head office is based here and a training center is under development.
Pondicherry attracts visitors with its quality of life and relaxed lifestyle. The presence of over 70 universities makes it competitive with other major cities.
It offers a balance between quality and cost of living. Everything is just 5 minutes away.
This former French trading post also has the advantage of a dual culture, with the return of a whole generation of natives trained in France and ready to work in India, bridging the gap between customer demands and the quality of service to be provided on the other side.
Pondichery is also becoming a prime target for “workation”, employees or entrepreneurs working for companies or clients in big cities, but at a distance and in the setting of a small coastal town.
The COVID crisis has boosted this phenomenon, where the balance between productivity and living comfort remains fragile and yet to be defined.
La crise du COVID a boosté ce phénomène où l’équilibre entre productivité et confort de vie reste fragile et encore à définir.
For Damien Berville, talking to his colleagues only online for 6 months has undermined the group dynamic that depends on sharing and conviviality.
As far as gender equality is concerned, even if it is still under-represented at the top of these structures, Pondicherry has more and more women entrepreneurs and women working in these structures.
With over 70,000 micro and small businesses, Pondicherry continues to attract business, spurred on by a government that facilitates administrative procedures, in order to remain competitive with other territories.
