In Mahabharat times, Gurgaon was a thick forest where the ashram of Guru Dronacharya
existed. It was here that Pandav and Kourav princes got their training in arms
and warfare. Because of Guru Dronacharya's ashram, people started calling it
the 'Gurugram' which later on changed into 'Gurgaon'. This place had been gifted
by Yudhister to Guru Dronacharya, as 'guru-dakshina'.
Because of its close proximity to Delhi and excellent infrastructure, Gurgaon
has now become one of the most important corporate and industrial hubs of Haryana.

Limited (promoted by Suzuki Motors) is situated here, as are a large number
other industries. Another area in which Gurgaon is excelling is the Information
Technology (IT) industry and software development.

class hotels, like The Radisson, have sprung up in Gurgaon.
