In a world saturated with digital distractions, a remarkable venture has emerged in Mylapore, aiming to redefine the way we entertain ourselves. Jalato, founded by Indrajala Kandimalla in August of 2022, offers a truly unique approach to leisure and entertainment. Through a range of immersive and sensory experiences, Jalato invites participants to explore their curiosity and creativity.
Previously, Indrajala held a position at an advertising agency. She reflected on her past experiences, noting that a significant portion of her time was dedicated to channeling creativity for the benefit of others. It was at that moment when a realisation dawned upon her — she wasn't investing in the enhancement of her own creative abilities. This realisation held a deeply personal and paramount significance for her and ignited her passion for encouraging individuals to harness their own creative potential.
Jalato introduces new experiences every six months and their process for developing new experiences is driven by a concept they affectionately refer to as 'Being Jurious' (Jalato + curious). They continuously ask, ‘What if and why not?’ to create unique, thought-provoking experiences. Each concept undergoes extensive research, development, and testing, ensuring it meets strict criteria, including duration, uniqueness, and safety measures. The first one was called ‘Art in the Dark’, where participants got to paint using glow-in-the-dark colours in a dark environment. Another concept is 'Dude! Where's The Colour?', which challenges participants to explore the world of colour in a colourless environment, stimulating their senses in unexpected ways. The best part of the experience is the big reveal. As the lights come on, participants are greeted with a sense of surprise, wonder, bewilderment, and pure joy as they witness their finished artwork, created without the knowledge of the colours used. This element of surprise adds a unique dimension to the Jalato experience, making it a truly memorable adventure. All their concepts are built from scratch.
The experience studio offers an array of captivating adventures for all age groups and occasions. From date nights to corporate team outings, and kids birthdays to bridal showers, Jalato caters to a diverse range of preferences and interests. The studio has dedicated private rooms, accommodating anywhere between two and 50 people, seated, and safety measures are rigorously implemented to ensure a worry-free experience.
