Electronics City is a vast industrial complex in India, spanning more than 1.3 square kilometers in land area. A formidable collection of building and interconnecting roads, Electronics City straddles the neighboring villages of Konappana Agrahara and Doddathogur, and is located just outside Bangalore proper. The complex is comprised of more than one hundred different companies, many of which are undisputed giants in the IT industry. Some of the more noteworthy companies that have offices in Electronics City are Hewlett Packard, Infosys, CGI, and Siemens.
Electronics City was the dream project of R.K. Baliga, who served as the first Chairman of Karnataka Electronics as well as the Managing Director of its Keonics division. Baliga planned Electronics City with the idea of making Bangalore Indias own Silicon Valley after the famous industrial area in the United States. Baliga was unfortunately unable to see his plans come to full bloom, having passed away before the citys completion.
With the death of Baliga, it was the liberalization of Indias economy as championed by the likes of P.V. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh that would give Electronics City the push that it needed to develop into a viable industrial park. It was from this period that Electronics City as we know it took its first bold steps into industrial superiority, and the rest...as they say...is history.
In 1997, ELCIA or the Electronics City Industries Association took over much of the maintenance work of Electronics City, after being given the responsibility by Keonics.It was during this time that representatives from the different departments were fielded in order to address various governance and management concerns.
There are currently three phases to Electronics City, namely, Phase I, Phase II and Phase III. Phase I and Phase II lie on opposite sides of Hosur Road. With the development of Phase II of the complex, Electronics City experienced a considerable increase in the number of companies breaking ground in the area. Unfortunately, this development has also caused traffic to and from Bangalore to increase considerably. In order to ease the traffic, construction work on an elevated road was started in late 2004. Initiated by the government, this road building project is only one sign of the continued viability of Electronics City for the future.
Many people feel that the construction of this road can only result in good things, especially since more and more companies have expressed interest in opening up offices in the complex. With the establishment of offices and facilities by such heavyweights as Sasken, Convergys, Audi, BMW, Honda, General Motors and many others, Electronics City is definitely in a position to benefit from newer and bigger development projects.
