Kanpur has been one of north India's great industrial cities since the nineteenth century, built on leather and textiles along the Ganga and still a major manufacturing and trading centre for Uttar Pradesh. Its mills-and-merchants history gives the city a large base of business owners and professionals managing their own capital.
