The office offers a holistic experience, fostering collaboration, maximizing natural light, and incorporating biophilic elements, showcasing Piramal's dedication to a sustainable future.

Art plays a pivotal role in creating a sense of identity for employees, with thematic representations across offices reflecting Piramal's core values and mission. This artistic touch enhances the work environment, instilling a strong connection to the company's identity.
