Currently, it is not only a top priority of real estate builders but also for expats and students who come to Bangalore from other states every year. It is well known that Bengaluru is the start-up capital of India and Koramangala is the start-up hub of Bengaluru. With thousands of start-ups active in the area, it is one of the most entrepreneur-friendly areas of the country. Rent isn’t too high for such a hub and every Block has its own market.
