Gurugram is a planned city and administrative headquarters of Gurugram District, located in the northern Indian state of Haryana. It is situated near the Delhi–Haryana border, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of the national capital New Delhi and 268 km (167 mi) south of Chandigarh, the state capital. It is one of the major satellite cities of Delhi and is part of the National Capital Region of India. As of 2011, Gurgaon had a population of 1,153,000.

Gurugram was traditionally an agricultural trade centre. By the last decades of the 20th century, however, manufacturing had become increasingly important. Industries include power-loom weaving and the manufacture of automobiles and farm implements. Many foreign companies in the technology, finance, and manufacturing sectors established operations there, often choosing to locate their national corporate headquarters in the city. The result was dramatic growth in and around Gurugram, and its population increased nearly sevenfold between 1991 and 2011. In the region surrounding the city, irrigation from wells supports the cultivation of grains and oilseeds.
