Coimbatore is Tamil Nadu's industrial-engineering capital — textile mills, pump manufacturing, and a growing IT services cluster (TCS, Cognizant, Robert Bosch all have campuses here). RS Puram and Race Course are the upmarket residential-commercial pockets; Saibaba Colony and Peelamedu are the IT-corridor alternatives. India's e-Tourist visa (up to 180 days for many western passports) covers entry; no formal DNV. The structural draws: Nilgiris hill stations (Ooty, Coonoor) are 2-hour drives away, Tamil-meal food culture, and the cheapest large-city rents in south India. Climate is moderate year-round (1,300m elevation).
