The Mercedes Benz cars priced at over Rs 65 crore, the highest valued car deal in India. And it's all happening in a small city in the underdeveloped Marathawada region of Maharashtra - Aurangabad.
A group of businessmen, lawyers, doctors and other professionals have come together to change the image of Aurangabad from a backward, sleepy city to an economic hub.
Rishi Darda, MD Lokmat group, said: “We wanted to put Aurangabad on the world map.” Rahul Mishrikotkar, of RHS Ventures, said: “We want to invite all investors and industries to Aurangabad.”
This 'Aurangabad group' -- popularly called so -- made a bulk booking in April, forcing companies to acknowledge the hidden potential in smaller towns and cities in India.
Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India said there is tremendous economic power in tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
These young owners are all set now to get into the driver's seat to showcase Aurangabad as the new hope of Maharashtra.
