Gurugram, formerly known as Gurgaon, has transformed since the 1990s from a modest satellite town into one of India's most prominent corporate and IT hubs, its skyline of glass towers housing offices for many of the world's largest multinational companies. While not a conventional heritage destination, the city offers a striking contrast to Haryana's older agricultural towns, alongside modern attractions like Kingdom of Dreams and Cyber Hub's extensive dining and nightlife scene.
Sheetla Mata Mandir, an important local temple predating the city's corporate transformation, and Sultanpur National Park nearby, offer a reminder of the area's older character beneath the newer development, giving Gurugram a genuinely layered identity for those looking beyond its more famous business-district image.
Gurugram's rapid development began in earnest in the 1990s as major corporations sought office space near Delhi, transforming what was previously a relatively unremarkable district town into one of India's key symbols of post-liberalisation economic growth.
