Three Indian cities named world's fastest-growing cities list

Three Indian cities have been listed as the world's fastest-growing urban ares, a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) revealed. Malappuram, Kozhikode and Kollam were the only three cities to make it to the top 10 of the world's fastest-growing cities.

Taking to twitter, Industrialist Anand Mahindra, "Good to see that the fastest growing in India are not the monster metropolises, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata etc. When smaller towns & cities grow it signals that a wider distribution of wealth & job opportunities is underway. We need more smaller towns to Rise!"
