The Americans invented this word and they have been using it quit frequently. As you know, many multinationals, in order to save Money, are outsourcing their work to cities in India. When an American says that he has been Bangalored, What he means is that he has lost his job because his company has decided to move its operations to a city in India – not necessarily Bangalore. The name derives from the city of Bangalore, India.You must remember that during the early stages of outsourcing most of the companies were moving to this city – Bangalore was then perceived as the silicon valley of India. The American’s fear of losing jobs to the city of Bangalore gave rise to another word: Bangalore phobia. read less

You are bangalored when you get fired from your job because it was outsourced to an offshore company. The name derives from the city of Bangalore, India, where a lot of IT jobs in the US are being outsourced.

T-shirts have already appeared in Silicon Valley bearing the slogan, "Don't Get Bangalored!" To be Bangalored is to have one's job outsourced to India or, more accurately, the country's IT industry haven, Bangalore. Because of the scale of the outsourcing phenomenon, the Indian city has forged its position in the global consciousness – at least in the IT sector. Likewise, the culture of the city itself reflects its identity as an international IT mecca. – YaleGlobal read less

I am yet to come across.. But as far as I perceive it must refer to someone who has gotten into the signature habbits of a typical Bangalorean.
