Companies and IT Parks Around Mysuru

Yes, Mysore has a genuine IT industry, not just one big campus. Around 180 to 200 registered IT companies operate in the city today. Infosys leads this group by far, in size and in name recognition. L&T Technology Services, Wipro, Cognizant and IBM also run offices here. Smaller firms like Excelsoft Technologies and ArisGlobal round out the list. Kaynes Technology, an electronics firm, also runs a unit in the same Hebbal belt. Most of these firms sit inside one compact stretch, not spread across the city.

Infosys Mysore is the city's largest and best-known IT campus. It sits in the Hebbal Electronics City area, on about 350 acres. This campus works mainly as a training centre, not a delivery office. It can train more than 10,000 new recruits at one time. That makes it the largest corporate training facility in the world. Infosys employs more than 7,000 people on this campus. The site also has its own accommodation blocks, food courts and sports grounds, built for long training batches.

Beyond Infosys, Mysore has a handful of smaller, dedicated tech parks. Nesara Tech Park sits in Hootagalli, inside the Hebbal Industrial Area. This building spans about 55,000 sq ft, across four floors. L&T Technology Services runs its Mysore office from this park. Silver Spirit Tech Park sits nearby, also in Hebbal, on about 11 acres. Varsha Tech Park is a newer, smaller hub, built more around shared office space. It suits startups and small teams that do not need a full floor. Saraswathipuram also has its own IT park, run by a local co-operative society. The Software Technology Parks of India, known as STPI, has its own centre too. This centre also sits in the Hebbal Industrial Area. It offers fast internet and tax perks for smaller IT firms.

Here is a quick side by side view of the main parks.

Silver Spirit Tech Park, often just called Silver Tech Park, holds six main companies. Together, these firms employ more than 2,200 people at this one site. The park itself covers about 11 acres of land. It sits in the Hebbal Industrial Area, close to the other tech parks.

Infosys stands out as the biggest company in Mysore by most measures. Its Hebbal campus alone employs more than 7,000 people. No single tech park comes close to that headcount. Outside IT, BEML and JK Tyre count among the city's largest employers. BEML makes earth-moving and defence equipment, as a government-run firm. JK Tyre runs both a factory and a research centre here.

Mysore's job base goes well beyond IT and software. Several government research bodies are based in the city too. CFTRI works on food technology and research. DFRL focuses on food for defence forces. The RBI also runs both a note press and a paper press here. CIPET, a plastics training and research body, also has a centre in the city. These add stable, long-term jobs outside the private IT sector. Together, they give Mysuru a broader base than most people expect.

• BEML: earth-moving and defence equipment, government-run
• JK Tyre: manufacturing plant and a research and technology centre
• CFTRI: food technology research
• DFRL: defence food research
• RBI: note press and paper press
• CIPET: plastics training and research

Most of Mysore's companies sit in one main stretch, near Hebbal. This area lies on the northwest side of the city. Hootagalli sits right next to the Hebbal Industrial Area. Hebbal Electronics City sits close by too, just across the same belt. This makes it one single commute zone for most working professionals in the city. A worker could switch jobs between parks without much change to their daily drive.

This job corridor matters for anyone buying a home in Mysuru. , a new project by Prestige Group, sits in Huyilalu, in western Mysuru. From here, the Hebbal job corridor sits about 11 km away, close to 25 minutes by car. Prestige Pavilion offers 2, 3 and 4 BHK homes, from Rs 77 Lakh. The project spans 4 acres, with 360 homes across 3 towers, built by Prestige Group. For anyone working at Infosys or a nearby tech park, that is a short, workable commute.
