Panathur, Bengaluru — Neighbourhood Guide

Panathur is a fast-growing residential micro-market wedged between the Outer Ring Road IT corridor and Sarjapur Road, drawing techies working at nearby Embassy Tech Village, Bagmane and JP Morgan campuses. It offers a dense cluster of preschools, gyms, clinics and eateries but suffers from congested, narrow arterial roads and no metro connectivity yet. The vibe is young, working-professional heavy and rapidly urbanising, with new apartment towers alongside older village pockets.
