Business
While tourism is the major industry in Mysore, the information technology related industry has been growing.

The planned industrial growth of the city and the state was first schemed in the Mysore economic conference in 1911. This eventually led to the establishment of industries such as the Mysore Sandalwood Oil Factory in 1917 and the Sri Krishnarajendra Mills in 1920.The major companies in Mysore include BEML, J. K. Tyres, Wipro, SPI, Falcon Tyres, L & T and Infosys.
