Chandigarh Businesses and Reviews
The golgappa stall near Sector 9 market in Panchkula operates from a push cart that’s been at the same spot for what feels like forever. By 6 PM there’s always a small crowd, mostly people on their way back from work, waiting for the guy to fill each puri one Continue Reading
Ten years ago, a serious diagnosis in Mohali meant an immediate conversation about getting to PGI in Chandigarh or making the trip to Delhi. That calculation has changed. The investment in private healthcare infrastructure in Mohali over the last decade — Fortis, Max, Ivy, and several specialty hospitals — means Continue Reading
Mohali has quietly become a serious retail destination. The city’s population growth — IT professionals, business families, students at Chandigarh University and its cluster of colleges — has created sustained consumer demand that’s attracted real retail investment. What existed five years ago is different from what’s available now, and the Continue Reading
One of the quiet advantages of living in Panchkula is that you don’t have to compete for a salon appointment the way you would in Sector 17 or Sector 35 of Chandigarh. The city has enough established salons to cover the demand without the weekend rush that makes Chandigarh salons Continue Reading

The conversation that happens in drawing rooms across Mohali every January and February — admission season — is one of the most stressful things young families here go through. Which school? Which board? Which sector? Can we get in? The school a child attends for twelve years shapes more than Continue Reading
Five years ago, the answer to “where can I work from a cafe in Mohali” was basically Cafe Coffee Day in Phase 7, if you could tolerate the noise. The situation has changed considerably. The IT corridor, the growth of the freelance and startup community, and a general shift toward Continue Reading
Panchkula has one significant advantage over Chandigarh for fitness: space. Larger gym floors, more parking, and enough room in the newer commercial sectors to run proper functional training areas without everything being compressed into a basement. If you live in Panchkula and have been commuting to a Chandigarh gym, there’s Continue Reading
People who live in Panchkula will tell you the same thing if you ask about food: the city gets overlooked. Everyone defaults to Sector 17 or the Sector 35 strip in Chandigarh, and Panchkula quietly keeps to itself. That’s actually good news if you know where to look — fewer Continue Reading
