Electronic City
From a 1978 industrial enclave to one of the world's densest tech clusters — Electronic City now packs 250+ outlets across dining, retail, wellness, coworking, and entertainment, anchored by 300+ IT companies, the M5 Ecity Mall, and Neeladri Road's buzzing food strip.
Restaurants & Dining
Electronic City's F&B runs on a tri-modal model: luxury hotel dining at The Oterra (Alloro, East), high-volume crowd-pleasers (Barbeque Nation, Thalassery), and budget staples for the daily lunch crowd (Mani's Dum Biryani, 7 Days). The biryani economy alone powers team gatherings across 300+ companies.
