Whitefield in east Bangalore is home to one of India’s most well-known IT hubs. Competing with Electronic City in south, here you’ll find the ITPL (International Tech Park, Bangalore), Sigma and Brigade Tech Parks among others. The complex network of local buses makes this the ideal location for guests hoping to commute in and out of these estates.

As Whitefield itself has seen unprecedented change in the last few decades it has quickly developed from a rural village into a global destination. This change has seen a boost in entertainment facilities in the area but also in locally-run environmental projects. Local communities are pushing for more green spaces which the government are taking seriously. Parks and gardens are popping up as quickly as malls, restaurants and bars.

The Forum Value Mall has a large cinema and big-name retailers while the Inorbit Mall has a comprehensive food court and leading Indian brands as well as start-ups. The 100 ft road in Indiranagar features fine dining and trendy roof terraces. The suitably named ‘100ft.’ boutique is a Mediterranean restaurant with a choice of beautifully dressed outside dining spaces and ever-popular ‘Smoke House Grill’ has an experimental cocktail list that you’ll want to sample from top-to-toe.
