A weekend in Goa Sometimes, leaving the city’s hustle for some time off in your luxury holiday home is all you need even if it’s just for a weekend. Time is definitely no constraint when it comes to spending some leisurely time in the coastal paradise of Goa . From the calmness of the beaches, the greenery to the buzzing nightlife and the night markets; a weekend in Goa can also be refreshingly eventful. This is how we suggest how to do it. Mornings by the shore When your itinerary states limited days in Goa, it has to include the best of the place.

Best party spots in Goa for the year It is a well-established fact that Goa is the party capital of India. With innumerable nightlife spots and a spirited vibe marking the coastal paradise, there is perpetual energy of celebration in its air. Needless to say, every Goa itinerary needs to have an array of clubs and party places to cover; a Goa trip is essentially bland without them. Having built luxury homes for rent and sale in Goa over the years and exploring every inch of the town, we have learnt that it is more about the euphoric character of that land than the nightlife itself. Nevertheless, there are some venues that furthermore add life to the existing buzzing energy of Goa. Here are the best party spots in Goa of all times. LPK Waterfront Short for Love, Passion, and Karma, LPK Waterfront situated in Nerul is one of the most favoured places for party lovers when in Goa.

How company culture can be a driving force and how do we do it

Image
How company culture can be a driving force and how do we do it The role that company culture plays in the overall productivity and profit of a company is massive. How a company performs in the market is determined by a lot of factors; company culture and employee satisfaction are a few to name. Now, that is more or less achieved by the work environment, the vision and ethics of the workplace, and the relationship between the employees and the employer. Our villas for sale and rent in Goa , and holiday homes in Coonoor and Kotagiri would not have been possible without the dedication of our entire team—every single individual who has been working relentlessly, checking one goal at a time off the list. What an individual looks for in a job today is not just financial stability, but also professional satisfaction. Only when that exists, a company reaches success. How an employee feels in an establishment affects his work there, which eventually impacts the perfor...
