Essensai067 Opens Its Doors to a City-First Space for Joy, Culture, and Community

The 5.16-acre destination in Whitefield debuts with over 50% open green space, 20 brand launches, and a vision to host 300+ community-led events every year.

On April 20, 2025, Bengaluru - Essensai067, a culture and community-first destination, officially opened its doors in Whitefield, drawing thousands on its debut day. More than just a retail space, Essensai067 brings together food, fashion, art, music, and green living to offer Bangalore a new way to gather, slow down, and connect.

Built in the heart of Kannamangala, it isn’t a mall. It’s a feeling — one rooted in joy, belonging, and everyday celebration. Spread over 5.16 acres, 50% of which is open and green space, Essensai067 became a welcome respite from an urban life that tends to rush.

Guests entered through a water-inspired cave entrance and stepped into a space full of life. There was a pet-friendly plaza, a next-generation adventure and pet park, peaceful wellness zones, and a natural amphitheater that came alive on launch night.

The brand name "Essensai" is a blend of "Essence" and "Sai", paying homage to divine energy. The number "067" is steeped in local significance, derived from the pincode of the area in its earliest days. It rooted this visionary initiative in the heart of Whitefield and paid tribute to the people who inhabit and flourish there.

With more than 1.5 lakh sq. ft. of leasable space and almost 20 brands going live in the first phase, Essensai067 had already started creating ripples. International behemoths such as IKEA co-existed with hyper-local gems such as Puppawcino and Barnhouse, creating a stunningly diverse retail and dining experience.

Seventy percent of the space was already leased, evidence of the faith that brands had in this game-changing format. But the real power of Essensai067 went far beyond profit. Its true impact lay in influence and intention.

The initiative would create 750 direct employment opportunities and over 3,000 indirect jobs. And as Whitefield continued to develop as Asia's startup hub, Essensai067 was not just positioning itself as a cultural hub but an economic driver as well.

With close to 9,650 daily visitors anticipated, Essensai067 was not just a destination; it was becoming a part of Whitefield's everyday beat. On April 20, Essensai067 came alive under the stars with an unforgettable launch event.

The legendary Usha Uthup took the stage at the amphitheater, infusing the space with the same spirit it was built on — joy, unity, and rhythm. The performance was preceded by an intimate dinner at Barnhouse, the in-house culinary treasure.

With more than 300 handpicked events scheduled annually — ranging from pop-up bazaars and art exhibitions to wellness fairs and pop-up concerts — Essensai067 is going to be a thumping cultural hub of Bangalore.

"Essensai067 was never going to be just another development," explained Haresh M Mirpuri, Essensai067 founder. "It's a place that reflects the soul of Whitefield and gives back to the people who call it home and live here."

Architecturally, Essensai067 stood out as a benchmark in thoughtful design. Essensai067 is very likely the greenest shopping place ever constructed in India.

Opening to the public on April 27, 2025, a new chapter begins for Bengaluru. This wasn’t just a launch; it was a landmark.
