RPG House is the epicentre of all activities at Rama Prasad Goenka Group. It is an iconic structure which seamlessly and subtly celebrates traditional Indian architecture; designed in 1974 by I.M. Kadri of IMK Architects.
Much like everywhere else in the world, India’s continued fight against COVID-19 has been enabled by its frontline warriors, i.e. healthcare professionals, police personnel, and myriad others. RPG Group Chairman Harsh Goenka found a special way to thank the corona warriors by creating a 10,000 sq ft. and 120 feet high wall art. He shared some pictures of murals created on the giant – exterior wall at RPG House situated in Worli, Mumbai.
