==History==
Indiranagar was formed as a [[Bangalore Development Authority|BDA]] layout in the late 1970s, and was named after the famous Kannada author [[M. K. Indira]]. In the beginning, the locality was primarily a suburb, dotted with large [[bungalow]]s and independent houses, mostly owned by defence personnel and public sector employees.

The Information Technology boom in Bengaluru in the late 1990s converted Indiranagar and its two arterial roads ([[100 Feet Road]] and Chinmaya Mission Hospital Road) into a semi-commercial area. Today, Indiranagar is an important residential and commercial hub of Bengaluru.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}
