Nandan Nilekani is the co-founder and non-executive chairman of Infosys. He is best known for being the former chairman and the architect of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). But away from his professional commitments his personal life is centred a long way from Delhi's corridors in Bengaluru’s ‘ billionaire's street ’.
Nandan Nilekani's House in BengaluruNandan Nilekani's residence is located in Koramangala 's 3rd Block; the area is often associated with wealthy residents, which locals sometimes call "Billionaire Street", according to Archidust. Koramangala is one of Bengaluru's most posh residential pockets, which is mostly covered with tree-lined streets, premium villas, and easy access to the city's tech corridor, which largely makes it home to entrepreneurs and industry leaders.
Who owns the property?In 2022, the NRJN Family Trust, the Nilekani family's trust, bought this home for nearly ₹59 crore, which was also one of the costliest residential deals the area had seen at the time and measures around 9,600 sq. ft. Archidust reports suggest that the trust also picked up an adjoining plot in the same block, expanding the family's footprint in the area.
What does the home look likeNo official floor plans, architectural renderings, or interior photographs of the house have been made public, and the family has kept their lives private. Going by the design types of high-end homes in Koramangala's 3rd Block, such residences generally include:
But it is assumed Nandan Nilekani's house is more towards comfort and functionality rather than being showy.
Nandan Nilekani's home is also a venue to host big industry namesNandan Nilekani's Koramangala home has also served as an informal venue for gatherings of business leaders and technologists. He previously hosted Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and several other industry leaders including Wipro chairman Rishad Premji, Cred's Kunal Shah, Meesho's Vidit Aatrey, Ather's Tarun Mehta, Rapido's Aravind Sanka, Sarvam's Vivek Raghavan, slice' Rajan Bajaj, Jar's Nishchay Ag, Prosus' Ashutosh Sharma, Lightspeed's Hemant Mohapatra and DPI (digital public infrastructure) visionary Pramod Varma, according to a Moneycontrol report.
Nandan Nilekani to lead high-powered task force for examsPrime Minister Narendra Modi recently took to his Instagram account to announce a new six-member high-powered task force to overtake India's examination system, and he chose Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani to lead it.
This came a day after Dharmendra Pradhan resigned as Union Education Minister, following a 36-day student protest led by the Cockroach Janta Party over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak and irregularities in CBSE's on-screen marking process.
The panel's brief will recommend structural and technology-based changes suitable for the National Testing Agency (NTA), the exam-conducting agency, so that future exams are conducted in a fair manner.
Besides Nilekani, the multidisciplinary task force includes former ISRO chairman S. Somanath, former Intelligence Bureau director Tapan Deka, IIT Madras director V. Kamakoti, former Union Education Secretary Anita Karwal, and logistics expert Amrit Lal Meena.
