Bangalore has experienced rapid growth fueled by its strong IT sector, becoming one of the fastest growing cities in India. It has a population of 9.6 million currently that is projected to reach 14 million by 2021. This growth has led to a strong residential real estate market with over 20,000 units absorbed in 2011. While the Outer Ring Road, Whitefield, and Bangalore North areas have been the most promising micro-markets, future growth is expected in Old Madras Road and Bangalore East. Upcoming infrastructure projects such as expansion of the metro rail system aim to support the city's continued development.

5. Bangalore’s emergence as a world city is closely
tied with growth of IT sector. Currently, City has
over 800,000 IT/ITeS workforce and adding over
100,000 workforces every year.
As of now, 2,840 IT/ITeS companies including more than 100
Fortune 500 companies have established their operations in
Bangalore. Key reasons of Bangalore’s emergence as an IT hub of
India are:
• Access to Talent Pool on account of :
a) Availability of education institutions, during early 20th
Century British Government developed excellent education
infrastructure in Bangalore City. This resulted high penetration
of English language in local population.
b) Today Bangalore has over 5400 schools and 620 colleges.
Colleges offering general degree are about 350, engineering
colleges account for 80, medical seven, Law - 72 and
Management-120.
c) Karnataka was the first Indian State to recognize the
importance of technical and engineering education and
therefore encouraged the setting-up of privately-owned
engineering colleges.
d) Bangalore has nationally renowned professional institutes
such as IISc, ISI, IIMB, NLSUI, NID, IIITB and many more.
e) Presence of PSU and Research institutions. Until 1990s growth
of Bangalore was largely driven by public sector companies and
research organizations. Post-independence, the city evolved as
an engineering hub with establishments of large Public Sector
Undertakings (PSUs) namely HAL, ITI, ISRO, HMT, BEML, BEL and
more.
• Multi-Cultural Environment: Bangalore is home to diverse
groups of people. Bangalore attracts a large number of
immigrants from across the state and country. As per Bangalore
City Development Plan for JNNURM (2006), immigrants from
other parts of Karnataka constitute 53%, Tamil Nadu 19%,
Andhra Pradesh 9%, Kerala 7% and Others 19% of the
population. In addition, the city also attracts a large number of
expats from other nations.
• Good Social Infrastructure: Bangalore has well developed
business and social infrastructure including renowned health
institutes, modern format retail malls, entertainment options
and star category hotels.
• Moderate Climate: Due to its high elevation, Bangalore enjoys
a more moderate climate throughout the year. Bangalore
experiences a tropical wet and dry climate with summer
temperatures ranging between 34°C–35°C and winter
temperatures between 15 °C– 18 °C.

Bangalore also called Bengaluru, is the capital of the
Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Deccan
Plateau in the south-eastern part of Karnataka,
Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-
most populous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is well
known as a hub for India's information technology
sector. It is among the top 10 preferred entrepreneurial
locations in the world.
A succession of South Indian dynasties ruled the region
of Bangalore until in 1537 AD Kempe Gowda—a
feudatory ruler under the Vijayanagara

Empire—established a mud fort considered to be the
foundation of modern Bangalore. Following transitory
occupation by Maratha and Mughal, the city remained
under the Mysore kingdom. Bangalore continued to be
a cantonment of the British and a major city of the
Princely State of Mysore which existed as a nominally
sovereign entity of the British Raj. Following the
independence of India in 1947, Bangalore became the
capital of Mysore state, and later Karnataka.
Today as a large city and growing metropolis, Bangalore
is home to numerous public sector heavy industries,
software companies, aerospace, telecommunications,
and defence organisations. Bangalore is known as the
Silicon Valley of India because of its position as the
nation's leading IT exporter. A demographically diverse
city, Bangalore is a major economic and cultural hub
and the second fastest growing major metropolis in
India.
