Area Overview
What makes Kodathi special
Kodathi sits on the outer Sarjapur belt near Carmelaram, where township development meets remaining agricultural land.
Development here is more recent than Choodasandra and still filling in. The village core remains, with gated projects arriving around it over the last decade.
Carmelaram railway station is about 3 km, which is unusual for this belt and genuinely useful. Wipro’s Sarjapur campus and the corridor employment are the main draw.
