Greater Kailash 1 (GK-I) was developed in the 1960s by DLF Limited when Delhi Government allowed private developers to build colonies and is today one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city, home to well-known politicians, business personality and people associated with Bollywood industry. GK 1 markets in M and N Block are some of the most popular markets among Delhites and tourists because of its wide range of shopping, restaurants, bars, etc. The Office of ASSOCHAM was there in Zamrudpur Community Centre till May 2013.

Recently the market has experienced heavy footfall due to several restaurants, salons and banks.[1]
