šŸŽ§ About Galata Podcast
Galata is a Kannada word that means the ruckus of noise. Through candid, long-form conversations, I explore entrepreneurship, creativity, and the pursuit of meaningful work with some of India’s most interesting minds.
šŸ›ļø About Hundredhands
Hundredhands is a Bangalore-based collaborative architecture practice founded by Bijoy and Prem Chandavarkar. Their work spans institutions, cultural spaces, and residences, known for thoughtful design, sensitivity to context, and the philosophy that architecture is less about materials and more about meaning.
