THE BIGGER PICTURE

Investing in office 1304 on the 13th floor in Mumbai’s Kamala Mills compound was an absolute no brainer. The numbers added up to my lucky number eight, and the developer even allowed us to create the office plate at 1,205 sq ft to satisfy my numerological nuttiness! That we were able to customise the square footage reveals that the building was still work in progress. When we moved in, it barely had steps, let alone an elevator. So, every worker, product, and eventually employee and the two of us had to climb 13 storeys for months. We can actually say that the office was put together with love, sweat and tears quite literally.
