About · since 2019

Built around one bright room.

ZENARA started with a sketch of a round, sunlit atrium where you could see every floor from the fountain. Everything else, from the stores to the food and the benches, grew around it.

Light first
A 42-metre glass dome, so the atrium runs on daylight until 4 pm.
Room to pause
Over 300 seats in common areas, shaded and free to use, with no purchase needed.
Local makers
One in four stores is an Indian or Pune-born brand. The bazaar is curated, not rented.
Lighter footprint
Rooftop solar, zero single-use plastic in the food court, and a waste-to-compost plant.

“Come for one thing. Stay for the day.” It's still the brief for everything we build.
