In this edition of 𝒉our people, we hear from Ketan Gupta, founder of ShaadiYaadgar. From a business family in Mumbai to building a wedding-tech startup since 2022, he shares how it all started, the one-stop wedding platform he's working toward, the values behind his approach to branding and growth, and hard-earned advice on keeping costs lean, understanding customers, and gamifying productivity to beat procrastination.

We built Hour Space to work as hard in front of a camera as it does behind a laptop. From Sarah Jane Dias shoot to Zouk's Brand Campaign, our courtyard and honestly every corner of the space has quietly doubled as a set more than once. Turns out good light for working is good light for shooting too.

You "worked all day," but somehow can't say what actually got done between 10am and now. That's not exhaustion from effort, it's exhaustion from never really switching off. At Hour Space, the day has an actual beginning and end, so when you leave, you're really done.

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.
