The basic module behind these sectors are the Jobs generated and how they are related and dependent on each other directly and indirectly. The site of Kalupur in the Central Zone of Ahmedabad is situated next to the Kalupur Railway Station. The precinct falls into the walled city which evolved and formed more than 400 years ago. Throughout the time the walled city has attracted huge amounts of Traders and Businessmen from all around Ahmedabad and Gujarat.

This attracted traders from around who migrated into this zone for Self-Employment majorly. This gradually created a demand for casual labour work and hence labour market developed quickly.
