Bus Branding in Kundalahalli
Kundalahalli is an eastern suburb of Bengaluru sitting between Whitefield and Marathahalli, where the Kundalahalli Gate junction on the ITPL Main Road acts as a gateway into the tech corridor. It is ringed by IT offices, the EPIP Zone, Brookefield, and parks such as Prestige Technostar and Shantiniketan, with Kundalahalli Lake beside the older village settlement and newer gated apartments. The junction is a known bottleneck that the whole Whitefield bound crowd funnels through, and the Purple Line metro now runs alongside it. This page lays out what sits inside Kundalahalli, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
We hold exclusive partnership rights for bus branding across Bengaluru and the whole of Karnataka, so your Kundalahalli campaign runs through one accountable partner from planning to proof of display.
Kundalahalli at a Glance
- Kundalahalli sits on the ITPL Main Road between the city and Whitefield, with the Kundalahalli Gate junction serving as a gateway into the eastern tech corridor.
- It is surrounded by IT offices and tech parks, the EPIP Zone, Prestige Technostar, Prestige Shantiniketan, and the ITPL belt close by, with major firms across the area.
- The junction is long known for congested traffic, made worse over years of railway over bridge and corridor works between Kundalahalli and Marathahalli, so vehicles move slowly through it for much of the day.
A branded BMTC bus works Kundalahalli all day, seen by the riders on board and by every commuter, motorist and pedestrian around it, at a fraction of the cost of static outdoor.

Bus Routes That Pass Through Kundalahalli
Kundalahalli Gate is a fixed point for almost every bus heading between the city and Whitefield, so it is covered by the ITPL routes, the ORR services that swing through, and the cross routes to Marathahalli. The routes below are the high-frequency ones covering the junction. Numbers and exact stops are simple to verify on Google Maps or BMTC route search by entering a from-and-to point through Kundalahalli.
| Route number(s) | Connects | Key Kundalahalli points covered |
|---|---|---|
| 335 series | City and Marathahalli to Whitefield and ITPL | The Kundalahalli Gate and Brookefield stops (335E, 335M variants) |
| 500 series and 500CA | Outer Ring Road and ITPL trunk services | The Kundalahalli Gate stop on the way to ITPL and KR Puram |

- The 335 family and the ITPL routes are the busiest here, since the Kundalahalli Gate stop sits on the path of nearly every Whitefield bound commute, so a branded bus is seen by that whole tech corridor crowd.
- The chronic congestion at the gate junction means buses spend long minutes in slow or stationary traffic, which lengthens the time the branding stays visible.
