Christopher Nolan, Tom Holland, and Matt Damon recently stopped by Olympia Coffee House for chai and bun maska ahead of The Odyssey's Mumbai premiere, and it turns out Colaba's oldest café has been quietly winning for over a century. From Olympia to Leopold, Mondegar, Churchill, and Madras Café, we trace the trail of nostalgic cafés that have outlasted every trend, all just minutes from Hour Space.
In this edition of 𝒉our people, we turn the questions on someone a little closer to home: Ar. Areeba Siddiqui, Founder of Hour Space. From an idea born in Scotland, UK to building Colaba's own coworking space from the ground up, she shares the story behind Hour Space, what community really means to her, and the hard-earned advice that's guided her: Build where you are, Grow when you are ready.
