ITPL was established by a consortium of Singapore companies joining forces with the Tata Group and Karnataka government led by Deve Gowda[2][3] to take on the project. Ascendas has been actively involved in ITPB since its inception in 1996 and has been a lead partner in the Singapore consortium that owns 47 per cent of the ITPL. To that 47 per cent has now been added the 47 per cent of the Tatas, with KIADB continuing to hold its 6 per cent stake. Two Former Chief Ministers of Karnataka – S.M.Krishna, Praven, Former Governor of Karnataka T. N. Chaturvedi & Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Hsien Loong & President S. R. Nathan have inaugurated each of the buildings in various tenures.
The Park was the first of its kind with the work-live-play environment to be built in India and has since become a role model for other IT Park-like projects in the country.
