Michelle Poonawalla, wife of industrialist Yohan Poonawalla, has recently made headlines with her acquisition of a stunning mansion in Mumbai’s Cuffe Parade, valued at an astounding ₹500 crore. This opulent residence now stands as the Poonawallas’ second home, setting the stage for their latest chapter in the city’s high-profile social scene.
New Neighbours to the Ambanis
The lavish property, spanning 30,000 square feet, is situated in the same upscale neighbourhood where Anil Ambani’s former home, ‘Sea Wind,’ is located. As Anil Ambani continues to reside in his Pali Hill residence, the Poonawallas’ new mansion brings fresh buzz to Cuffe Parade, known for its elite residents and extravagant estates.
Michelle’s Artistic Flair
Michelle Poonawalla, who leads MYP Design Studio, is recognized for her significant art collection and artistic achievements. Her new home is expected to reflect her creative vision and showcase her impressive array of art. Michelle’s work spans across London and Pune, addressing socially engaged themes that have garnered international attention.
Yohan Poonawalla’s Legacy
Yohan Poonawalla, Chairman of Poonawala Engineering Group, is closely related to Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India. Yohan’s interests include a notable collection of vintage and luxury cars, including the Queen’s Royal Range Rover, valued over ₹100 crore. His passion for automobiles complements the grandeur of their new residence.
A Statement of Opulence
The purchase of this grand property has not only added to the Poonawallas’ reputation for luxury but has also intertwined their legacy with that of the Ambanis, creating a new focal point in Mumbai’s social circuit. The Poonawallas’ move to Cuffe Parade is a testament to their continued prominence and influence in the city’s elite circles.
