Gurgaon (गुड़गांव, ਗੁੜਗਾਂਵ) is the sixth largest city in the Indian state of Haryana. Gurgaon is a megacity, as well as the industrial and financial center of Haryana. An important town in ancient Hindu mythology, Gurgaon is one of Delhi's four major satellite cities and is part of the National Capital Region of India. Over the past 20 years the city has grown tremendously as an manufacturing, outsourcing and shopping destination due to its world-class infrastructure at competitive prices and its strategic location (connected to Delhi Airport via a private Expressway, Mundra Port via railway, and New Delhi via Delhi Metro). A plethora of BPOs, KPOs and shopping malls dot the cityscape. The outsourcing boom has led to a rapid growth in employment prospects and local wages, leading to a mushrooming of shopping malls, swank restaurants and entertainment facilities. Demand for such lifestyle options is driven by the demographic shift to a younger, more cosmopolitan, more affluent and better educated population. The fast growing population, with increasing purchasing power, has created a huge demand for housing, resulting in escalating property prices in recent years. Real estate gurgaon is in the way to sky in recent years. Today, skyscrapers and modern shopping malls dot the city, which saw a major real estate boom in the late 1990s and post 2000's.[1]
