KORAMANGALA

Koramangala is an area of Bangalore, capital city of Karnataka, India. Situated in the south-east of the city, it was not too long ago, a sought after residential locality with its wide boulevards and posh bungalows. It now finds itself at the focal point of many busy main roads, notably the Intermediate Ring Road (linking the Airport Road with Hosur Road and the Electronics City), Sarjapur Road (leading to the Outer Ring Road, and beyond) and 80 Feet Road (leading to Viveknagar and MG Road at the centre of Bangalore).

Divided into 8 Blocks, the 3rd and 7th Blocks are more commercial than the others, with all major banks and finance houses having their offices.

Koramangala is also home to some prestigious institutions like the St. John's Medical College, Jyoti Niwas College, Indian Institute of Astrophysics among others.

Several software companies are located in Koramangala. To mention a few: Infosys, Wipro, Microland, Rational Software Corporation (India) Pvt. Ltd. Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Tricon Infotech Pvt. Ltd , and others. See comprehensive list of software companies in Koramangala.

While Koramangala currently boasts having The Forum, one of the city's biggest shopping malls, and Raheja Arcade, a big shopping cum office complex. A large number of restaurants, relatively upscale houses and apartment complexes and a number of Indian and multi-national software companies distinguish Koramangala from other parts of the city. It hosts luxury apartments like Prestige Acropolis and National Games Housing Complex.

It is notorious for its roads, most of which were 'dug up' for renovation. Though the civic authorities are trying hard to cope with the unprecedented stress of improvising the infrastructure, a lot needs to be done.
