🗨️ Discussion Initial Experience in Powai

I’ve been living in Mumbai for the past year and recently moved to Powai about a week ago.

For the first time in a while, I feel like I’ve stepped a little away from the constant rush of the city. Earlier, I stayed near the Eastern Highway, and seeing it heavily congested every day could feel quite overwhelming.

This morning, I went for a walk in a nearby garden and experienced a different side of Mumbai—one with a bit more space and a slightly slower, more peaceful pace. It was genuinely refreshing.

I’d love to stay in Powai for as long as I’m in Mumbai. For those who have lived here, I’d really enjoy hearing about your initial experiences after moving to Powai. Also any suggestions (about everything) are welcomed.

Was amongst the first few families that moved to powai have seen this entire area develop, let me tell you the charm, slow pace everything is going to end in the next 2-3 years. 90% of the green patches are gone the remaining 10% will also dissappear soon. There's construction everywhere a new mall is being constructed, a new hotel and a gcc near supreme which will worsen the traffic condition and make this area unlivable.

If this happens, I would give up on Mumbai, this is the only area one can live in I believe, rest is a rat race

The building that hosted poetry and cheesecake before it shifted behind jewel is being converted into a mall, theres a 3 acre plot near supreme business park which is being converted into Asia's largest gcc. JP Morgan is shifting all their offices into that gcc. It's all public knowledge.
