Office Space: Ameera Shah MD and CEO, Metropolis Healthcare

"As I am in meetings pretty much the whole day, I extended my table and rebuilt it as a meeting room. Also, I felt meetings were better when people were sitting around a table. Then it's not just people presenting to me, but act ually interacting," says Ameera Shah MD and CEO, Metropolis Healthcare.









Colour me patriot

I am patriotic and, hence, the Indian flag. In fact, the colours of the informal space in the office are in tandem with the tricolour.




Bundle of joy

My niece Alisha is the light of my life. She's my sister's daughter, and lives in Miami. Whenever I am stressed, I look at her and I feel happy. I meet her twice or thrice a year.



India calling

Gandhi before India written by historian Ramchandra Guha is one of my favourite books. I really like reading about India. It's one of my favourite subjects.




A piece on peace

I picked up this Buddha when i was in Hong Kong for a visit. Whenever I travel to another country, I usually pick up some souvenir for the office.


Rocking the summit

A close friend scaled Mount Everest in 2013 and brought back a piece of rock from the summit. He framed it and gave it to me.




Spiritual craft

I got this bronze sculpture of Buddha letting go of a dove, from mumbai itself last year. When I saw it, I felt a spiritual connection. It has a peaceful look.



Stripe it up

This painting is by South African artist Ramvey Mapunde. I found the expression in the eye to be almost knowledgeable and it had a calming effect on me.
