Our story
Chapters
How we met
On the 14th floor of a glass tower in DIFC. Tara was advising a client; Karan was a friend of the founder she was advising. We exchanged business cards and then exchanged everything else over the next four years.
Why Goa
Tara's parents are in Mumbai, Karan's in Bengaluru. His cousins live in London and Sydney. Hers in Toronto. Dubai is home for us but it is not home for anyone else. Goa felt like a place everyone could fly to and stay together, which is what we actually wanted.
