This study aims to conduct a comprehensive SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis of multinational companies (MNCs) operating within Coimbatore city, Tamil Nadu, India. Coimbatore, a growing industrial and educational hub, attracts increasing foreign investment and hosts a diverse range of MNC operations across various sectors.

By examining these elements, this study intends to provide valuable insights for MNCs looking to establish or expand their presence in Coimbatore, as well as for policymakers seeking to foster a favorable ecosystem for multinational investment and growth in the region. The findings will highlight strategic advantages that MNCs can leverage, areas where they need to improve, potential avenues for expansion, and challenges they must navigate to achieve sustainable success in the Coimbatore market. Furthermore, this research will briefly touch upon the implications of the identified SWOT factors for the local Coimbatore economy, including job creation, technology transfer, skill development, and the overall competitiveness of the regional business environment, thereby highlighting the broader significance of understanding the strategic positioning of MNCs within the city.
