Wearing this jersey feels like carrying a piece of India’s dream with me Garv Hai is more than just an initiative. It’s a belief in all of us who’ve worked our way up from the grassroots, chasing excellence on the global stage. Proud to be part of this journey.



In 1882, Maharaja Chamarajendra Wodeyar X of Mysore granted approximately 3,900 acres of land for the establishment of the settlement now known as Whitefield. [1] Key Details of the Grant Recipient: The land was given to the Eurasian and Anglo-Indian Association of Southern India. Purpose: It was intended to create a self-sustaining agricultural and industrial settlement for the Anglo-Indian and Eurasian communities. Initiator: The request for the land was spearheaded by David Emmanuel Starkenburgh White, the president of the association, after whom the area was subsequently named. Original Layout: The settlement was uniquely planned with a circular layout, featuring an "Inner Circle" and "Outer Circle" that are still visible today. Location: The allotted land was located in the Kadugodi area, then on the outskirts of Bangalore. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Historical Significance The Maharaja's grant transformed what was then a remote area into a "Pensioners' Paradise" and a quiet colonial hamlet. This foundation eventually paved the way for Whitefield's 20th-century evolution into one of India's major IT and commercial hubs. [5, 6, 7, 8] Would you like to know more about the colonial landmarks still standing in Whitefield today or the history of its IT transformation? #NammaBengaluru
