Koramangala ([ˈkoːrɐˈmɐŋgɐlɐ]) is a southeastern neighbourhood of the Indian city of Bengaluru. One of the largest in that metropolis, it is a residential locality with wide, tree-lined boulevards and a mix of commercial structures and bungalows. Planned as a suburb post-independence, its location between Bengaluru and Electronic City attracted migrants from across the country during Bengaluru's tech boom of the late 1990s. Consequently, it has gradually developed into a commercial centre[4] and a prominent startup hub.[5]

Geography[edit]

Koramangala is divided into eight blocks spread over approximately 1,800 acres. Blocks 1–4 are separated from blocks 5–8 by the Inner Ring Road leading to Domlur/Indiranagar. Up to the 1970s, one would pass the village of Adugodi on the Hosur Road and then usually bypass Koramangala on the way to the industrial suburbs of Bommanahalli or Bommasandra, about ten and twenty kilometres away, respectively. Settlement was sparse in Koramangala, and only towards the late 1970s were more houses constructed. The road to Bommanahalli and Bommasandra now passes through Electronics City, home to various technology firms, including Infosys.[6][7]

Location[edit]

Koramangala is located in the South-eastern part of Bengaluru adjoining the Central Business District.Neighbouring areas include Adugodi,Vivek Nagar,Austin Town,Madiwala,BTM Layout and HSR Layout.

Transport[edit]

Koramangala is located at a distance of 41.3 km (25.7 mi) from Kempegowda International Airport, and 10.7 km (6.8 mi) from Bangalore City railway station.The Dairy Circle metro station of the upcoming Pink Line of Namma Metro will serve the neighborhood.[citation needed]
