Chennai is south India's industrial powerhouse - often called the Detroit of India for the automobile and components plants ringing the city - alongside a deep IT corridor on Old Mahabalipuram Road and one of the country's strongest healthcare sectors. The city's investing tradition runs old and deep: the former Madras Stock Exchange was among India's oldest regional exchanges.
