Quotes
Lavanya Hatwalne
Senior Director, Integrated Operations, Coca-Cola India
“Ganeshotsav is an integral part of Mumbai’s culture and community, bringing people together across neighbourhoods and local spaces. For us, being part of the festival was about finding ways to engage with these communities in a manner that was relevant to the occasion and the region. The installation brought together creativity, community and the spirit of the festival, while offering a different perspective on materials that are often overlooked once they are discarded.”
