Mumbai has not just been the financial capital of India but also the 'luxury capital' of the country. As the city is attracting more fashion labels in the luxury category, the city's property market already commands a premium in India and also in the global context. Offering the epitome of-luxury, Mumbai will soon get Asia's highest residential infinity pool, 'Aeon' (*as per the research report on infinity pools submitted by Market Search pvt Ltd, on 4.1.2018). The 50- foot long rooftop infinity pool will be located atop Raheja Universal's upcoming project, Raheja Imperia I, on the 60th level. Situated at 677 feet above the bustling city in Worli, Mumbai, Raheja Imperia I offers an unobstructed view of the city, the ocean and beyond.

In addition to 'Aeon', the project offers various lavish handpicked amenities namely, Horizon60 - The Private Club, Atmosphere - The Party Deck, Luna- The Sky Media Zone at the roof-top, an amphitheater, a ballroom, The Imperial Park - for strolling and enjoying delicacies at Café Laguna and watch the children swim in the exclusive pool, and Club Imperia for fitness and sports enthusiasts. With an unparalleled view; float atop the city in Aeon, one can dine with a companion at a perfect setting in Atmosphere-the Party Deck or Horizon 60 - the Private Club and engage in an immersive experience of watching movies at the apex in Luna - the Sky Media Zone.

Commenting on the Raheja Imperia I rerating, Mr. Ashish Raheja, Managing Director, Raheja Universal said, "Mumbai's real estate luxe segment has undergone a paradigm shift, fuelled by the dynamic NRIs and HNIs. Harmonizing with this trend further, Raheja Imperia I enters the arena with its top of the line features. With Aeon, Asia's highest residential infinity pool and 35 other path-breaking amenities spread across 1.23 lakh sq. ft, it is the new word in premium experiential luxury."

Mr. Raheja further commented , "With the ever shrinking land bank in Mumbai, low density luxury projects are at an all-time premium. We are amongst a select few, offering such a premium project in the heart of the city. Luxury Living is set to be redefined not just by the opulence of the interiors and architecture but also the exquisite exteriors and international landscaping that Imperia I has. The tranquil settings and sense of privacy in the heart of the maximum city is what sets Imperia I apart from other luxury projects."

Being developed by Raheja Universal Pvt. Ltd., the 60 storey Raheja Imperia I is a Greenfield project built on a virgin plot, implying absolute privacy and unmatched luxury. Raheja Imperia I is based on the Low-Density concept, giving residents more open space with larger green cover. It comes free of public car parking, SRA, or rehabilitation requirements, which means that the benefits of the facilities are solely for residents to enjoy; a much craved privacy in a densely populated city like Mumbai. Spreading out an array of amenities for residents, the tower footprint is only 20% of the entire development while the rest is covered by offerings wherein imagination touches reality.

Anant Fellows conducted a cleanliness drive in Hinglaj Nagar slum area, Thaltej, Ahmedabad, on 1st July 2018. The team consisting of Aliza Mehnaz, Marian Asante, Navin Selva, Neha Arora and Renuka Sampagao had observed that a huge pile of garbage, with cows feeding off it, was always present outside Mathura Nagari (AUDA) Awaas, an EWS housing in Hinglajnagar, built under JNNURM. Waste dumping at this public place had resulted in persistent foul smell, breeding of mosquitoes and outbreak of diseases. It was affecting the residents of the society and also the young kids in the neighbouring Anganwadi.

The Anant Fellowship team found that lack of ownership and prevailing social discord was the reason for the underutilization of public spaces, turning them into a vast dumping ground. Bringing behavioural change through community participation was the need of the hour. The AnantU team took on the challenge and tackled this problem by conducting a participatory design workshop for the residents and subsequently an activity with the Anganwadi kids, educating them about waste segregation and waste management.

The Fellows realized that any solution would have long lasting success if it included participation from all stakeholders. They organised an event 'Team up to Clean up' on Sunday, 1st July, in collaboration with AMC, Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya and Samvedna Trust, in presence of the MLA Bhupendrabhai and councillor Laljibhai. Students from Maharaja Agrasen Vidyalaya performed a nukkad natak on Swachh Bharat to raise awareness amongst the people of the community. Students and faculty of Anant National University, volunteers from Samvedna Trust and the local residents then came together to clean the place. The event came to a close with the resident children planting trees inside the AUDA Awaas area so that it can remain clean and green.
