    Etymology and history

    Vishrantwadi used to be a resting place for the thousands of Varkaris who made the annual pilgrimage from Alandi to Pandharpur in South Maharashtra by foot. Vishrant in Marathi means "rest", "vadi" means "hamlet" or "town", and thus the name 'Vishrantwadi'. Even today the annual Jñāneśvar pilgrimage procession passes through Vishrantwadi.

    Vishrantwadi is well connected to the rest of Pune by both buses and autos throughout the day. PMPML operates a number of routes to, fro and through Vishrantwadi. The PMPML is also planning to implement the BRTS on Alandi Road and the Vishrantwadi-Airport Road.

    Population

    In the past, Vishrantwadi was largely peopled by Marathi speaking middle-class Maharashtrian families. Recently, with Pune becoming more cosmopolitan, a large number of Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu speaking families have settled down here as well. It is a favoured residential choice for people working in the IT sector whose offices are in and around Kalyani Nagar, Yerwada, Vimannagar. Proximity to the city center, no pollution, good infrastructure and connectivity has led to a substantial increase in population.

    There are a number of army and air force establishments nearby, amongst which are the Bombay Engineering Group, Khadki military cantonment, GREF Centre and Lohegaon Air Force station. Vishrantwadi is the location of the residential complex of Pune City Police at Police Lines.
