Kalaghoda Map

We redrew the Kalaghoda map with our store location and historical places of interest. Maps and drawings have always been an integral part of our design thinking. We have used numerous authentic ones to decorate our journals and pencils. Soon, the handprinted Kalaghoda map with information on historic monuments in the vicinity, will be available free of cost for our visitors to explore the precincts.

Kala Ghoda Artwork

We commissioned this artwork to commemorate the opening of our flagship store at Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai. This place has a special meaning for our brand as it began its journey here over a decade ago.

The name Kala Ghoda means Black Horse, a reference to the presence of a black stone statue of King Edward VII (as the then Prince of Wales) mounted on a horse that was built by Jewish businessman and philanthropist Albert Abdullah David Sassoon. This statue was removed from the precinct in 1965 and subsequently placed inside the Byculla Zoo (Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan). The memory of this iconic statue still lingers on even to this day and this area is called Kala Ghoda Artist: Archana Pereira

Dessert at Kala Ghoda

IMG_0255

I was at ohdough, a cafe in KalaGhoda. Had good masala chai, great chocolate chip cookie and even better was the conversation that happened with the young owner Pawan. He was completely immersed and hands-on with his visitors. Our conversation started with Kalaghoda and veered towards product and food photography, videos, cameras and studio lights. We spoke about the need to live close-by to our places of work. In any business, personal involvement and hands-on approach is key to success. When businesses start growing the challenge is in getting likeminded people to take forward the legacy.
