testimonials

We have had two amazing days at IFBE. The venue but also staff, execution and our contact throughout the events planning have all been so positive!

Indira Furniss | Operations and Engagement Lead, H&M Foundation

I love this space! I'm completely in love with the tree in the middle of the space and I think that the team that runs this space is really full of love

Faye D'Souza | Journalist

The moment I stepped into IFBE, I felt it — I just knew I had to perform here. IFBE was filled with love!

Farhan Akhtar | Actor, Director

What a beautiful place located in the heart of Mumbai! Never thought we would ever have such a pretty place in Mumbai. Lovely vibe, great ambience and super aesthetic place

Jack Rodrigues

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place. I struggle to see such places in Bombay. This truly is a hidden gem. Went here for a music concert which was in one of the spaces within IFBE. The place has beautifully retained the huge Banyan Tree and the aesthetic is very raw and basic with brick walls

Geetanjali Harnal

Such a beautiful and aesthetic place in Mumbai. I was there to attend an event of 'Agents of Cheers', it was one of my most amazing experiences. It is a hidden gem of Mumbai.

Mumbai needs more repurposed spaces like IFBE!!

Naresh Shah

Got to experience the Hermes Exhibition. This place is a dreamy one. Art lovers, vloggers and instagrammies must visit this place at least once if you like art, good food and vibes of a perfect ambience.
