Over the past 10 years the city has undergone rapid development and construction. A wave of Multinational companies choose to locate their call centres in Gurgaon after GE did so in 1997. Which has made Gurgaon the call centre capital of the world Multinational Companies also chose to put their regional headquarters in Gurgaon instead of Mumbai or Delhi. Today, Gurgaon is regarded as the best city in India to work and the best city in India to live, according to a survey by Business Today magazine. The per capita income in Gurgaon is 122,212 INR, which makes it the 3rd highest in India after Chandigarh and Mumbai.

Etymology
The origin of the city's name is steeped in Hindu mythology. Legend has it that Gurgaon is the ancestral village of Guru Dronacharya, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. In Sanskrit, Guru means teacher, which in this case refers to Dronacharya and Gram means village. According to Hindu mythology, the village was gifted by the Pandavas and Kauravas to Dronacharya the son of Rishi Bhardwaj, and was therefore known as guru-gram. Over time the colloquial term gaon (which also means village in Prakrit) was substituted for gram and the name Gurgaon emerged.
