Bangalore
Bangalore, officially Bengaluru, is the capital of Karnataka and a major centre for technology, business and education in South India. The city stands on the Deccan Plateau, over 900 metres above sea level. Its modern history dates to 1537, when Kempe Gowda built a mud fort that helped form the city.
Today, Bangalore has both a large job market and a wide choice of homes. In the first half of 2026, its share of gross office leasing across India’s seven major office markets was 24.7%, as tracked by JLL. Knight Frank recorded 15,172 home sales in July–September 2026, up 4% from a year earlier. For buyers, the key choice is the area. It should fit their work, budget and daily life.
