A good number of small enterprises exist in this region. These enterprises primarily deal with the import and export of small articles like jute, electronics, watch manufacturing, polyware manufacturing, medical equipment supplies etc. The township has a number of educational institutes, hotels and health care institutes. Baguiati Bazar and Baguiati VIP Super Market are well known as prominent locations for shopping.

There are 2 Post offices covering this area, one on the western half of VIP road (Deshbandhunagar), the other one on the eastern half of VIP Road (Aswininagar) which has been newly established.[1] It also has a dedicated police station under the jurisdiction of the Bidhannagar City Police.[2]

The region is part of one of the many residential places in the city. The population level has been constantly increasing, as has been observed in the rest of Greater Kolkata. This area is highly congested now. The flyover from Dum Dum Park to Raghunathpur above VIP Road, which was opened in March 2015, has helped to keep the traffic congestion away from Baguiati.[3] Subways have been constructed at Kestopur, Baguiati and Joramandir to prevent accidents due to road crossing and they are now fully functional.

There is also an area named Jagatpur, a ghetto area, connecting Baguiati and Kestopur internally which is called the crime zone of Baguiati. There have been numerous incidents & unethical activities in last few decades.
