The state capital of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow Metropolis, which is renowned for its distinctive manners and rich cultural legacy, is one of the non-metropolitan cities with the quickest growth rates.
It has shed its previous reputation as a city recognised solely for its unique needlework techniques, such as “Chikan” and “Lakhnawi Zardozi,” and is now a hub for cutting-edge technology with significant investment, institutional growth, and a forward-thinking mindset.
