Dharmapuri
Dharmapuri sits on the Krishnagiri border and shares a contiguous agri belt with Krishnagiri's mango + sericulture economy. Granite quarrying + grape cultivation round out the agri mix. Sambandam covered the district in Episode 20.
Chennai
Chennai is Tamil Nadu's capital and South India's automotive capital — the so-called "Detroit of Asia" — with Hyundai, Renault-Nissan, Daimler, Royal Enfield, and Mahindra all having major plants in or adjacent to the metro. Beyond automotive, Chennai is one of India's three largest IT/ITES hubs (after Bangalore + Hyderabad), a healthcare destination (Apollo, MIOT, Fortis Malar), and the anchor of the Chennai Port + Ennore (Kamarajar) Port + Kattupalli Port logistics complex.
