Hiranandani Gardens is a township located in Powai, a northern suburb of Mumbai. The township is approachable by Adi Sakaracharya Marg (ADS Marg), a part of Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR). The nearest Mumbai Suburban Railway station is Kanjurmarg.

Hirandani Gardens is known for its upper-class gated communities. The township is dotted with skyscraper residential towers, many with posh but very expensive apartments. Its skyline is immediately recognizable due to the heavy use of classic Greco-Roman architectural influences, especially at the topmost level. The residential towers often have a second underground parking level. Residents in one or more buildings form cooperative societies together to take care of issues related to utilities and aesthetics, resolve neighborly disputes and hold events on festivals or other occasions. Some communities have their own parks, children's play areas, sport courts, swimming pools or clubs within their perimeters.

Of late, the pace of development in Hiranandani Gardens has been swift. A new commercial area by the name of Hiranandani Business Park has been setup there. It has become the home of several BPO setups. Call centers of ICICI and WIPRO and Zenta are a few examples of the same. The leading analytics company of India, Fractal analytics has its office in Olympia. As a result Hiranandani Gardens is now also been seen as a commercial hub. In addition to BPOs, Hiranandani Business Park houses IT, ITES and Corporate Offices of many other corporations. Spectra building is one of the landmark buildings here. It houses offices of Corporates like Prudential ICICI, Wipro BPO, Lionbridge Technologies, Transocean etc.

Criticism

Though the region has advanced economically with the building of Hiranandani Gardens, the peace and quiet this Mumbai neighbourhood once enjoyed, is increasingly becoming a rarity. Hiranandani Bulders are expanding a lot with new buildings. Also, to continue expanding Hiranandani Gardens, many more builders are signing up with Hiranandani Builders.
