About
Powai
Powai is an upmarket residential neighbourhood located in the north-east Mumbai, now. Initially, it started off with a humble beginning, and was just a central village. But as of today, it has grown prolifically and exponentially to become one of Mumbai's most upmarket commercial and residential hubs. Not only this, Powai is also Mumbai’s start-up hub, with a wide array of young entrepreneurs springing from institutes like IIT Bombay. The Mood Indigo festival that happens annually in the IIT campus is synonymous with Powai. There are a lot of big clothing brands, coffee brands, good restaurants and other world class retail outlets that are housed in Powai. Some noteworthy brands include the famous and unique Mirchi& Mime restaurant in Powai. Recently Chaayos, the very rapidly mushrooming new age tea revolution has opened a swanky outlet in the leafy neighbourhood of Powai. The Go-Kart facility in Powai is another feather in the cap for this location and these multiple entertainment options clubbed along with the peaceful and leafy environment that Powai offers makes it a very ideal real estate and property investment destination by default.

POWAI LAKE
