Turning The Dream Into Reality
The force behind the dream
Liam Neeson’s dialogue from the film A-Team, "I love it when a plan
comes together," repeatedly rang inside the head of our founder Shariq;
he knew his idea was a sure-shot box office blockbuster.
What would you do if you owned about 28 acres of land in Bangalore
filled with trees, a beautiful lake, and wildlife? Fall prey to the
temptations of urbanization, or pay respect to mother nature? The choice
was easy for Shariq. He chose the latter. He was taught to revere the
power and beauty of nature, thanks to his family.
Big dreams require big investments. The faith that Mr. Akmal Sheriff had
in his son Shariq is what made him invest in his dream without an iota
of doubt. When that faith combined with the unwavering support of his
brother Tariq, something magnificent was born just an hour away from the
heart of Bangalore city—a place where people who love and respect nature
can escape the mundane. That is what Area 83 is today—a slice of heaven
within an urbanized city.
Preserving nature comes at a price; we pay it daily by keeping our
surroundings pristine, and this is the reason why we want everyone who
visits to pay a price so that we can keep Area 83 green
and clean not just for our generation but for future generations too.
