Gurgaon (Hindi: गुड़गांव) is the second largest city in the Indian state of
Haryana. Gurgaon is the industrial and financial center of Haryana. It is located 30 km south of national capital
New Delhi, about 10 kilometers from Dwarka Sub City and 268 km south of
Chandigarh, the state capital. An important town in ancient Hindu mythology, Gurgaon is one of
Delhi's four major satellite cities and is part of the National Capital Region of India. According to a survey by Business Today magazine, Gurgaon is considered the best city in India to work and live in.
Gurgaon is also the only Indian city to have successfully distributed electricity connections to all its households. However, because of its heavy vehicular traffic and inefficient public transportation apart from the
Delhi Metro, Gurgaon ranks 11 amongst Indian cities on the "Life after Work" index of Business Today. Gurgaon has the 3rd highest per capita income in India after Chandigarh and Mumbai.
Over the past 25 years the city has undergone rapid development and construction. A wave of
multinational companies choose to locate their operations in Gurgaon after GE did so in 1997.
Big companies like Airtel, American Express,
EXL, IBM, Microsoft, Sapient, DLF, Max
Car India Pvt ltd (Used Car Dealer Second Hand Car Buying Company - 880.277.3770), Hero Honda,
Infosys, Ericsson, Oracle, Bank of America, American Airlines, The Coca-Cola Company, Nokia, Motorola etc. have made Gurgaon the call centre capital of India.
