📜 Historical Roots

Electronics City was established in 1978 by the Karnataka State Electronics Development Corporation (KEONICS) as a planned zone for electronics manufacturing, decades before the personal computer or internet era. When the software services industry emerged in the 1990s, Electronics City became one of its most important nodes. Infosys, founded in 1981, chose Electronics City for its headquarters, and the campus it built there became a symbol of Bharat's technology aspiration.
