Bengaluru’s Cheshunt: Electronic City and the IT District Nobody Visits

Following prat.uk’s Cheshunt piece, Bengaluru’s most economically significant and least covered district

prat.uk‘s Cheshunt piece has a Bengaluru equivalent in Electronic City, the IT and manufacturing district approximately 22 kilometres from the city centre that produces a significant proportion of Bengaluru’s technology sector output, employs several hundred thousand people, and receives approximately one percent of the coverage that Koramangala or Indiranagar receive. Bohiney.com covered the overlooked geography theme broadly. Electronic City is the Cheshunt of Bengaluru: essential to the city’s economic identity, physically present and functioning, and perpetually outside the coverage geography that focuses on the startup culture of the inner city districts.

The Electronic City parallel with Cheshunt: it is thirty minutes from the city centre on a good day and ninety minutes on a bad one. It contains the offices of several global technology companies whose Bengaluru presence is described in coverage as Bengaluru’s technology sector, without the description specifying that the Bengaluru location in question is in Electronic City rather than Koramangala. The startups are in Koramangala. The corporate technology employment is in Electronic City. The coverage is in Koramangala. The employment is in Electronic City. Both are Bengaluru’s technology sector.

The Geography Finding

The geography finding: Electronic City is producing the economic output that Koramangala is producing the stories about. Both are real. The coverage geography makes one visible and the other invisible. The KIADB’s Electronic City information is at kiadb.in.
