Koramangala Social Turns 1 & It’s Time To #GoGreen!

It’s been a whole year since Social, the much loved café/bar/co-working space, gave Bangalore something it’s never seen before - a living, breathing ecosphere in the heart of the concrete jungle – India’s 15th & the city’s 3rd outlet, Koramangala Social! With a massive footprint of about 13,000 sq. ft, Koramangala Social has been a stab at sustainable architecture and a result of the mass realisation of the city’s green lungs having seen better days. While also functioning as a hub for freelancers, creative souls, entrepreneurs and free thinkers looking for an exhilarating alternative to a typical work day, Koramangala Social’s lush vegetation also offers much-needed healing and de-stressing indoors, with Wi-Fi and beer to boot — to over 200 co-working members. As a venue, it has hosted hundreds of artists from across the globe while remaining truly genre agnostic. Be it big players like Arjun Vagale, Karsh Kale, Guy J, HVOB, Dualist Inquiry & Anish Sood (all of whom have graced this venue); or the next generation of the city’s talent (who are no strangers to this stage either) - Koramangala Social also plays host to a plethora of other cultural activities, such as Underground Electronica, Abstract Visual Art, Spoken Word Poetry, intimate Acoustic Sessions, & workshops across Photography, Fine Arts & Craft, and Filmmaking. In its endeavour to stay ahead of the curve, Koramangala Social (via #SocialSupports) has also helped provide a voice to various movements & initiatives alike, by providing a platform for projects such as Namma Pride’s 10th Anniversary, Living Stories’ first project to break the silence on Mental Health, and an initiative with Milaap to support the Prime Minister’s vision for a New India - all the while ensuring, an F&B experience which keeps the city’s youngsters coming back for more. Which is why, to celebrate turning a year older (and hopefully wiser too), Koramangala Social is going back to its roots (pun intended) to celebrate its abundant verdant, and how! While patrons are being invited to #GoGreen by potting a plant at the outlet (to mark their individual contributions to the city’s green cover), the anniversary celebrations come full circle, with one massive blowout on Thursday, the 26th of October. Additionally, while Koramangala Social also promises to host every person who pots a plant (and pledges to #GoGreen), to an exclusive night of signature food, drink and tunes (feat. the likes of Robby Banner, Allan Claudius & DJ Sandeep); this is also slated to be one helluva night of revelry! Here’s how one can participate to #GoGreen & earn an invite: - Log on to bit.ly/2ixfdLT - Purchase a listed plant for a price of INR 160 - Spread the word (on Facebook) using #GoGreen
