Whitefield, Bengaluru

Common card · No. 231082

Whitefield is a neighborhood of Bengaluru, the capital city of the state of Karnataka, India. Established in 1882 as a settlement for the Eurasians and Anglo-Indians of Bengaluru, Whitefield remained a quaint little settlement at the eastern periphery of the city until the late 1990s, when the local IT boom turned it into a major suburb. It is now a major part of Greater Bengaluru. Whitefield is Bengaluru's first tech corridor to be connected by the Namma Metro, the city's metro system. The metro system's Purple Line, in particular, serves Whitefield. The locality is named after David Emmanuel Starkenburgh White, founder of the European and Anglo-Indian Association.
