Find or start an Origin in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is India's startup and technology capital, a city where a huge share of the workforce builds software, and where communities form around products, problems, and pub tables. The IT corridors of Whitefield, Electronic City, and Outer Ring Road run on engineering teams, while older neighbourhoods — Indiranagar, Koramangala, HSR Layout, Jayanagar — hold the cafés, breweries, and coworking floors where those teams meet after work.
The city's institutions anchor its community life: IISc, IIM Bangalore, and the many engineering colleges feed a constant stream of students and researchers, while ISRO and public-sector labs give the city a serious scientific culture. Cubbon Park, Lalbagh, and the lake network — Ulsoor, Sankey, Agara — host morning walkers, runners, birdwatchers, and weekend picnics.
For finding or starting an Origin, Bengaluru rewards specificity and a good venue: choose a neighbourhood that fits your group, pick a format people can attend after work, and the city's density of curious professionals will do the rest.
