Kundalahalli is an eastern suburb of Bengaluru sitting between Whitefield and Marathahalli, where the Kundalahalli Gate junction on the ITPL Main Road acts as a gateway into the tech corridor. It is ringed by IT offices, the EPIP Zone, Brookefield, and parks such as Prestige Technostar and Shantiniketan, with Kundalahalli Lake beside the older village settlement and newer gated apartments. The junction is a known bottleneck that the whole Whitefield bound crowd funnels through, and the Purple Line metro now runs alongside it. This page lays out what sits inside Kundalahalli, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
The area centres on the gate junction, with tech parks and gated communities on the Whitefield side and the lake and older settlement behind. Buses on the ITPL Main Road and around the gate and the metro are the ones that move the workforce, which is what makes them the high-visibility routes.
