Jigani Hobli is located in Anekal taluk in South Bengaluru, India and is situated at a distance of 28 km from Bangalore city railway station. Some of the features of the place Jigani are that it has a well-established Jigani industrial area and also very near to Electronics City in Bangalore. Several such Government initiatives to improve development to this area in Bangalore have led to growth of the population in this area starting in 2004. Recently, due to an outburst of worker populatione, Tamil and Telugu have become more frequently used languages. Companies like HCL, OTIS, APC, Toyota, BuziBrAIns, The Akshayapatra foundation etc. have brought more people to this remote location.

It is one of the industrial areas in Anekal taluk, with others being Attibele, Bommasandra, Chandapura, Electronic City and Sarjapura.
