Coimbatore \u2013 A Self-Made City<\/strong><\/p>\nMany users loved the post and agreed that Coimbatore does not get the limelight it deserves. Some called it a \u201cself-made city" with a solid economy built by hardworking industrialists, whereas others compared it to \u201cDenver and Boulder in the US" for its \u201cinnovation, industries and growth."<\/p>\n
\u201cCoimbatore\u2019s economy is robust and driven by strong private sector industries and industrialists who work silently on the holistic development of the city," read one of the comments.<\/p>\n
One of them also speculated on the city\u2019s future trajectory, saying that big tech companies might shift there soon. They wrote, \u201cSo all major IT companies might shift to Coimbatore." Another simply mentioned, \u201cCoimbatore is the best."<\/p>\n
Coimbatore Is Not Rising, It is Already There<\/strong><\/p>\nBut not everyone agreed with the idea that Coimbatore is rising now. A few people pointed out that the city has already been a powerhouse for years. \u201cNo, no one is sleeping on Coimbatore. Those who are related to the industry know it. It\u2019s not quietly building anything; it\u2019s already there. It\u2019s just not seen because it\u2019s a hardcore engineering hub minus the glamour of IT," read one of the comments.<\/p>\n
