Koramangala ([ˈkoːrɐˈmɐŋgɐlɐ]) is a southeastern neighbourhood of the Indian city ofBengaluru. 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 suburbpost-independence, its location between Bengaluru andElectronic 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[2] and a prominentstartup hub known for its high land prices and high-end shopping options.[3][4] As of 2026[update], Koramangala has a population density of over 22,000 people per km2.[5]
Koramangala is divided into eight blocks spread over approximately 1,800 acres. Blocks 1–4 are separated from blocks 5–8 by theInner Ring Road leading toDomlur/Indiranagar. Up to the 1970s, one would pass the village ofAdugodi on theHosur Road and then usually bypass Koramangala on the way to the industrial suburbs ofBommanahalli orBommasandra, 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, includingInfosys.[6]
The distance from Koramangala toKempegowda International Airport is 41.3 km (25.7 mi), and the distance to Majestic train station is 10.9 km (6.8 mi).[citation needed]
