Gurgaon is a city in the State of Haryana of Northern India - Gurgaon is one of Delhi's four major satellite cities and is therefore considered to be a part of the National Capital Region.

Gurgaon is best known as one of India's most prominent outsourcing and off shoring hubs, though the distribution of companies seems heavily skewed towards the non-IT services. A plethora of BPO and KPO firms such as Genpact, Dell, Accenture, Vertex, Hewitt Associates and Convergys dot the city scape. A few IT and pharmaceutical firms also exist in the city. Several auto-manufacturing facilities also exist, though they do not dominate the city's economy in the manner they did a decade ago.

The outsourcing boom has led to a rapid growth in employment prospects and local wages, leading to a mushrooming of shopping malls, swank restaurants and entertainment facilities. Demand for such lifestyle options is driven by the demographic shift to a younger, more cosmopolitan, more affluent and better educated population.
