FOREWORD Welcome to the Godrej Business District.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to discover the Godrej Business District and Godrej Construction’s first commercial development project, the 02 GBD IT Park. The ethos and beauty of the Pirojshahnagar Township is what makes us exceptional and markedly distinct. Every picture is real; we have not relied on stock photography to embellish our Business District and Campus. We believe that you will be convinced that what Godrej Construction offers is a rarity in the commercial real estate landscape of Mumbai and most other major Indian cities.

Our endeavor in constructing the 02 GBD IT Park was to create more than a building or complex. The goal was to create a space and environment that motivates, inspires and helps companies thrive. In order to achieve this we set for ourselves standards that go beyond accepted norms – higher engineering standards; higher technological standards and higher environmental standards.

It is our hope that the Godrej Business District and the 02 GBD IT Park will be a destination for companies of all sizes - where employees will be inspired; productivity levels and morale are elevated, and where new standards of excellence are established.

TECHNOLOGICAL & ENGINEERING EXPERTISE Love of technology, engineering and of finding opportunities to use them to make things better unites the Godrej Construction group’s activities.

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DEVELOPMENT Godrej Construction has been a pioneer in setting new conservation standards. It was clear to us from the outset that we should demonstrate environmental as well as technical leadership; not simply to comply with existing regulations, but to exceed them.

The aim for 02 GBD’s construction was to create inspiring office spaces that are both sustaining and sustainable.

70

71

72

73

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS DEVELOPMENT

Our sprawling green complex at Pirojshahnagar, Vikhroli stands as testament to our commitment to the environment. One of Godrej’s many long-standing corporate social initiatives involves creating awareness for environmental conservation.

We have, with meticulousness and scientific management, preserved a vast mangrove forest which is safely nestled in the heart of Pirojshanagar, and in the ever expanding city of Mumbai.

74

75

While building 02 GBD, we have ensured the judicious use of natural resources and an efficient use of technology. Double glazed glass on the faรงade and exterior shading insulates the building, and free flowing natural light decreases overall energy requirements.

Air conditioning loads and costs are reduced by our ingenious and beautifully landscaped roof gardens.

We ensure water efficiency and 100% recycling and reuse of STP. Waste management is also environmentally sound and our sustainable landscapes reduce environmental erosion.

76

77

We went one step further to ensure a healthy indoor working environment.

Eco-friendly products have been used throughout the building - all adhesives, sealants, paints and resins have a low VOC content, so the level of toxins in the air is minimized. In addition, filtered outdoor air provides fresh air to offices and specialized CO2 sensors in the airconditioning space maintain an optimum CO2 balance for fresh indoor air.

THE GODREJ ETHOS MANIFEST IN CAMPUS LIFE At Godrej, we pride ourselves in being a protected and a protective industrial garden township. Our 3,500-acre gated community provides every one of our manufacturing plants, offices, tenants and employees a secure, eco-friendly environment in which to flourish.

Walk about our campus and you will experience firsthand our vision and belief in a brighter, safer and more secure future.

94

95

We believe that we are trustees of nature and one of our main initiatives is the conservation and protection of the Mangrove flora and fauna of Pirojshanagar.

This is home to 13 species of mangroves and mangrove associates, 206 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles, 13 species of crabs, 7 species of prawns, 20 species of fish, and even mammals such as the jackal and mongoose.

Our campus is a true testament to preservation and it serves as the “second lung of Mumbai�, only after the Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

102

103

RECREATION IN THE CAMPUS The Godrej campus, because of its location, scale and reputation has attracted a network of businesses around it. State of the art malls, coffee shops, multiplexes, and restaurants surround our campus. The campus itself has marvelous recreational amenities such as the Godrej Clubhouse, which has a swimming pool and other great facilities.

104

105

There are vast open playing fields and play grounds for corporate picnics, corporate events, sports challenges, exhibitions and business events. “Working hard and playing hard� is more than just a saying for us; it is a way of life.
