The beautiful and detailed artwork by local artisans and graphics inspired by India’s rich cultural heritage adds to the aesthetics of the office.
Created by stonemasons and carpenters, the work is a tribute to India’s historical and rich craftsmanship.
The workstation has Taj Mahal-inspired marble domes, arches, vaulted doorways and jaali work, which reflects the Mughal style of architecture.
