Gurgaon, officially renamed Gurugram in 2016, is a city in Haryana about 30 km south-west of New Delhi. The city covers about 333 sq km and had 8.77 lakh residents at the 2011 Census, a figure that is now well out of date because the city has grown a great deal since then.

It is known as a corporate and services hub. Reports describe it as home to the Indian offices of around half of the Fortune 500, with the figure varying by source, and as having one of the highest per-capita incomes in India. Maruti Suzuki set up here in the 1970s and General Electric in 1997, and the office towers of DLF Cyber City followed.
The name matters when you search: sellers and portals use both Gurgaon and Gurugram, and the market is often described by its micro-markets rather than by the city name.
