It is rapidly developing in terms of residential and office projects.

History

Originally a village, the IT boom, beginning in roughly 2005, established major Multinational corporations in the area. Residential projects followed, and development is moving at a rapid pace in the 2020s. The exponential development of Kharadi in the 2010s has caused demands for a metro station in the area. The possibility of a line connection has been touted by offices and companies, some even willing to contribute funds to the project - similar to IT companies in Bangalore.
