                                          Set in the thriving neighbourhood of Bangalore, India, Essensai067 is more than a retail
                                          development - it is a reimagined social space where food, fashion, art and music come
                                          together to foster human connection. Spanning 5.16 acres, this dynamic indoor-outdoor
                                          interactive development offers over 155,355sq ft of thoughtfully designed spaces, with
                                          more than 50 per cent dedicated to open areas. 067 is the original Pincode representing
                                          their community within a 6km radius. The name is an ode to the neighbourhood where a
                                          community from all walks of life has come together to fulfil their dreams and desires. One
                                          such burning desire is for a space that goes ‘beyond the ordinary mall’.
