Joravar Bhavan in Marine Lines is one of those vintage buildings that are sturdy enough to withstand the ravages of time. You enter the premises through a door on the side to find a lift with a black collapsible gate facing a wide flight of stone steps. We walk up to the second floor, where a sign saying "Dysco" is placed against a large door. It's the office of a networking platform meant for creative millennials, which also doubles up as a space for intimate curated events. A Halloween party is on the cards tonight, for instance, and we ring the bell to find out exactly how this location is structured.

A uniformed helper opens the door to what looks like an elegant flat that's now been re-purposed. Khrisha Shah — who co-founded the firm with her brother Mishal — approaches from behind him, and leads us into a room on the immediate left. On a normal day, this spot serves as the place where she works from. But tonight, it will be turned into a photo booth for the Halloween party that people are encouraged to come in costume for. Shah then leads us to the main area, a fairly large open space right in the centre of the flat that used to possibly be the living room, but is now utilised for diverse events such as film screenings and themed discussions. It's where people will get spooky make-up done at the party, with food and drinks on offer as well.
