Delhi has always been a melting point of culture and history. It’s also the political capital of India. Not only does it serve as a home for our parliamentarians and ministers, but it’s also proud to have the most politically conscious voters in the country. The Supreme Court is here, the Doordarshan is headquartered here, and the Information and Broadcasting Ministry is also here.

It should not come as a surprise then as to why Delhi is the news media capital of the country. All the leading newspapers in India began their journey from their offices in ITO. Today, the biggest news channels of India are based out of neighbouring Noida. Delhi is also home to the government-run Indian Institute of Mass Communication, one of India’s best and oldest journalism schools. Over the last decade or so, the city has also emerged as the new advertising capital of India.

The things that come to your mind when you hear of Hyderabad, are its Nawabi culture, lip-smacking biryani, and its IT industry. But not many know that Hyderabad is also one of the most sought-after healthcare hubs in the country. It attracts thousands of patients every year, who come from different parts of India for all sorts of treatment like cardiology, orthopaedics, oncology, spine surgery, among others.

According to a report published in Telangana Today, the city used to draw 3 lakh patients every year in the pre-pandemic times. The leading hospitals of the city offer healthcare at much lower prices compared to their counterparts in the other metros. Hyderabad is also home to Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, one of India’s biggest pharmaceutical companies.
