Vishrant in Marathi means "rest", "wadi" means "hamlet" or "town", and thus the name 'Vishrantwadi'. Even today the annual Jñāneśvar pilgrimage procession passes through Vishrantwadi.

It is a favoured residential choice for people working in the IT sector whose offices are in and around Kalyani Nagar, Yerwada, Vimannagar. Proximity to the city centre, low pollution, good infrastructure and connectivity has led to a substantial increase in population.
