The Purple Turtles has opened EDIT, a 20,000 sq ft design, retail and dining destination spread across seven floors at MAA House on Old Airport Road in Domlur, Bengaluru. The new space brings together furniture, lighting, antiques, home décor, art and dining within a restored architectural landmark.

The building dates back to 1987 and was originally designed by architect Karan Grover to serve as the corporate office of MAA Bozell. The property has now been adapted into a multi-level destination for design and lifestyle products while retaining key elements of its original architecture.

EDIT features a five-storey central atrium, skylights, balconies and integrated greenery. Its interiors also incorporate salvaged architectural elements sourced from buildings across India, including timber banisters, vintage shutters, doors, windows, archways and pillars. The seven-floor destination features a mix of contemporary furniture, lighting, antiques, vintage collectibles, textiles, tableware, books, fragrances, artwork and outdoor furniture.

The assortment spans furniture, handcrafted products, decorative accessories, and lighting, giving visitors access to different design styles and product categories within one location.

Each floor has a distinct focus, with displays ranging from vintage collectibles and contemporary furniture to material-led installations and lighting concepts. The layout is intended to encourage visitors to explore the products and the design ideas behind them. The use of reclaimed architectural materials is another feature of the project. Rather than replacing all the existing elements, the redevelopment incorporates salvaged materials into the interiors, combining the building's original character with its new retail function.

The landscaped terrace features an outdoor collection by Beruru, including furniture, sculptures, pots and garden objects. The space is also intended to host workshops, talks and small gatherings. A fine-dining restaurant is planned as part of the larger destination, adding a dining component to the retail and design offering. Conceived by Radeesh Shetty, Founder of The Purple Turtles, EDIT expands the brand's presence beyond conventional home décor retail.

The concept combines product discovery with architecture, craftsmanship, and cultural activities. The opening adds another destination to Bengaluru's design and home décor retail segment, bringing multiple brands and product categories together in a single location. Its mix of retail, heritage architecture, and planned dining facilities positions EDIT as a multi-purpose destination for consumers interested in furniture, interiors, and lifestyle products.

The move is aimed at improving access to affordable healthcare products and generic medicines for both travellers and local consumers.

Located at one of South India's busiest aviation hubs, the new pharmacy outlet is designed to cater to the healthcare and wellness needs of passengers, airport visitors, and nearby communities. The launch aligns with Davaindia’s strategy to strengthen the availability of affordable medicines and healthcare products across high-footfall locations.

The Kochi Airport store will offer more than 2,000 products, including generic medicines, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, first-aid products, personal care items, wellness solutions, and daily healthcare essentials. To address the needs of travellers, the outlet will also stock travel-focused products such as travel kits, Vitamin B12 oral strips, effervescent tablets, and sheet masks.

Sujit Paul, Group CEO, Zota Healthcare Ltd said, "The launch of our Kochi Airport store is an important step in our journey to make quality and affordable healthcare accessible wherever people need it. Airports bring together people from different cities and communities, and our presence here allows us to address an everyday need in a convenient and accessible manner. Through this store, we aim to bring the philosophy of ‘Har Ghar Ki Pharmacy’ to the airport environment, ensuring that healthcare and wellness essentials remain within easy reach even while people are travelling."

Davaindia currently operates more than 2,900 outlets across India and continues to expand its retail pharmacy network at a pace of approximately one new store every 24 hours. The company's growth strategy focuses on increasing access to affordable generic medicines and healthcare products across urban and regional markets. In Kerala, Davaindia's network is nearing 100 outlets. The opening of the Kochi Airport store further strengthens its presence in the state by adding a pharmacy outlet in a major travel and transit destination.

Looking ahead, the company plans to continue expanding across Kerala with the objective of increasing healthcare accessibility through both physical stores and e-commerce channels. The broader strategy is focused on building an integrated healthcare ecosystem that combines affordability, convenience, and accessibility for consumers across India.
