IT employees may move away from tech corridors

Young technology professionals in India’s IT hub – Bengaluru – may scout for homes away from its preferred tech suburbs as they become cheaper to own or rent following a realignment in the hitherto-seen office culture.

As software companies push their work-from-home model beyond the immediate response to the Covid-19 pandemic, techies may choose to move into less congested areas, encouraged by expanding Metro connectivity, and away from the city’s tech hubs such as Mahadevapura, Whitefield, Electronics City, Bellandur and Sarjapura.
