Nehru Place is a collection of office buildings located in south New Delhi, India. The architecture is nothing remarkable and neither are the products, but a visit to the IT hub of the country is something one would not easily forget. Named after the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, the area is the closest place in India to the Silicon Valley and is a prominent commercial area, easily accessible by public transport, the Delhi Metro and offers paid parking facilities.
Built in the 1980s, Nehru Place houses a collection of 4 story buildings and rivals some of the most prominent metropolis of the land such as Gurgaon and Connaught Place. It is widely known for small-scale IT services and sells every kind of computer hardware designed from personal computers to network installation devices and software. Several shops build PCs to customer specifications then and there and others are specialized in all forms of hardware services and second hand hardware devices.
Though closed on Sundays, it resembles the atmosphere of a flea market or a Bazaar. Bargaining is norm and sometimes a necessity. One can strike up a great deal with the right amount of bargaining. You will find wayside vendors selling from little stalls and carts items such as blank optical media, printer toner cartridges, printer paper and software. There is no proper documentation done and usually quote prices below that of the market, but beware, it is also a haven for pirated software. It has been noted that only about one third of the software sold in India is genuine and a few operating from Nehru Place have been penalized for software pirating. There are also a number of hotels and restaurants in the area for a snack after a hard days bargaining. All in all, it is an IT fanatic’s paradise and the best place to strike a good deal for all your IT needs.
