Bengaluru Urban district holds India's largest concentration of corporate-funded hospital blood banks: Manipal, Narayana Health, Apollo, Fortis, Aster CMI, Sakra, plus government anchors Victoria Hospital, KIMS, and Bowring. The city is also a national leader in voluntary donation — collection volumes from corporate drives at IT parks rank among India's highest. Live stock from eRaktKosh is below.

Bengaluru's hospitals draw referrals from across south India — Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and beyond. Narayana Health is India's largest cardiac-surgery centre by volume; Manipal handles major trauma and transplant; Tata Memorial Bengaluru is expanding cancer care. The city's IT-driven population means very high voluntary participation — corporate camps at major tech parks routinely collect hundreds of units in a day. Donate in Bengaluru and your unit lands quickly with a patient who may have travelled cross-country for advanced treatment.
