Answer:
Jaipur is the capital and largest city of the North Indian state of Rajasthan. Known as the ‘Pink City’, Jaipur completes the ‘Golden Triangle’ tourist circuit along with India’s capital New Delhi (100 square miles) and Agra in Uttar Pradesh state (90 square miles).
The administrative district of Jaipur has a total geographical area of 5,432 square miles, which is 3.23 percent of the total area of Rajasthan. The 2011 Indian Census put its population at 3.1 million, making Jaipur the tenth most populous city in the country. The Jaipur Municipal Corporation is responsible for the city’s administration and is headed by a mayor, while the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) is the nodal government agency responsible for the planning and development of Jaipur.
Climate wise, Jaipur is hot and semi-arid, with rainfall mostly in the monsoon months between June and September. Temperatures are relatively high during the summer months from April to early July, with average daily temperatures of around 86° F (30° C), while winter is mild and pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 50° to 59° F (10° to 15° C) from November to February.
The city also has a number of higher educational institutions, which feed into an increasingly skilled workforce. Major institutions include the National Institute of Agricultural Management, University of Rajasthan, Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Malviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur National University, Manipal University, and IIS University.
In terms of transport and logistics, Jaipur is extremely well-connected by road, rail, and air. It has an international airport and is the headquarters of the North Western Zone of the Indian Railways. Jaipur’s strategic location also puts it on the golden quadrilateral of the National Highway Development Project (NHDP), which connects the major industrial, agricultural, and cultural centers of Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, and Mumbai.

Economic Profile
Jaipur has a bright economic profile that is increasingly getting diversified. The sectoral distribution of workers is mainly divided between manufacturing (44.64 percent) and services (49.46). Its major industries cover a wide-range of sectors – tourism, luxury textiles and ready-made garments, gems and jewelry, hand-knotted rugs, rubber-based prosthetics, food and beverages, tobacco, mining and minerals production, automobiles and bicycles manufacturing, and machinery and machine tools. Consequently, Jaipur has an important micro, small, and medium enterprises cluster. More recently, the city has also become an important IT hub in the country.
Further, aside from being a premier tourism destination in India, Jaipur is also known for its arts and crafts and has a flourishing trade and commerce in antiques, jewelry, handicrafts, gems, bangles, pottery, carpets, textiles, leather, and metal products.
Given this diverse economic profile, all three major industrial lobbies, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) have their regional offices in Jaipur. The city is also home to the Jaipur Stock Exchange, one of India’s regional stock exchanges, which was founded in 1989.
