Eco-friendly bamboo cafe at Ranal Engineering

Ranal Engineering sets up a bamboo cafe as part of its eco-friendly initiatives. The cafe has been built to allow light and air and is energy conserving as it eliminates the need for fans or air conditioners and has drastically cut down the usage of electrical lighting. The creepers provide a lush green surrounding and shading to keep the entire cafe cool. Bamboo is a symbol of friendship and the cafe reflects openness and friendship in line with Ranal culture.

The designers and executives use the cafe for their daily quota of refreshments, lunch and short breaks. At times, the teams use the cafe for idea generation or creative discussions.
