From the infamous khao gully to homegrown businesses, Ghatkopar was once ringed by creeks, and salt pans, inhabited by local traders and artisans. Today, educational institutions and commercial establishments have turned it into a melting pot for entrepreneurs, professionals, students and artists; with the suburb’s vibrant community and rich culture playing an important role in shaping Mumbai’s story.
To take patrons on this whimsical journey, Ghatkopar SOCIAL's interiors represents Raja Ravi Varma's legacy. He was a local hero, and was credited with opening the first printing press ever in India in Ghatkopar. Under the backdrop of Varma’s artworks, Ghatkopar SOCIAL features a vibrant, contemporary grunge aesthetic, complete with the neon red and yellow seating arrangement, reminiscing the double decker buses of Mumbai, and Varma’s historic artworks on display across the store walls albeit with a SOCIAL twist.
