Located amidst stunning natural beauty, the resort offers a wide range of exciting outdoor activities and adventure sports, all designed to provide a memorable and challenging experience.

In an exclusive conversation with the company’s Directors, Mr. Tariq Sheriff and Mr. Shariq Sheriff, we unravelled the entire inception journey of the resort. It is under their relentless leadership standards that Area 83 has blossomed to new heights of recognition. The duo also revealed that Area 83 is set to expand its footprint, planning new locations in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai by the end of the year 2024. The new Bangalore location, featuring a functioning resort, will open its adventure segment in June.

The Inception Tale

Area83 was founded by Mr. Tariq Sheriff and Mr. Shariq Sheriff, who started their entrepreneurial journey after experiencing a transformative bungee jumping experience in New Zealand. Immersed in a plethora of adventure activities, the duo recognized the absence of similar experiences in India. This epiphany crystallized the vision to offer world-class adventure and hospitality to an Indian audience, shaping their entrepreneurial journeys in the process. A noteworthy feather in their cap is the prestigious recognition of “Best Adventure Resort in India” at the Bharat Business Awards in 2023 within just six years of operations.

Imbibing Inspiration from Their Father

Both brothers draw inspiration from their father, who is a visionary leader. It is their father who has instilled the ethos of earning opportunities through hard work and dedication in them. He exemplifies business acumen while maintaining a profound sense of care for his people. His balance between professional excellence and personal warmth serves as a guiding principle. For those who look up to the stories of Mr. Tariq Sheriff and Mr. Shariq Sheriff, the duo propagates the importance of diligence, strategic thinking, and fearlessly pursuing one’s aspirations while cherishing the bonds of family and friendship.

Warming Words for CEOs and Business Leaders

To CEOs facing discouragement due to stereotypes, Mr. Tariq Sheriff and Mr. Shariq Sheriff advise them to embrace their dreams, heedless of societal narratives. “The essence lies in your conviction and the tangible, credible plan you forge to make it a success. Stay steadfast, believe in your capabilities, and persist with purpose.”

Keeping the Team High on Enthusiasm and Togetherness

Ensuring employees’ satisfaction is inevitable for Area 83. The true essence of enriching people’s lives has been possible because of the employees’ dedication and hard work. Recognizing the importance of individual ambitions, the board prioritises the same during the recruiting process. Having an overview of an individual’s professional aspirations plays a crucial role in the team-building process.

“We foster a sense of ownership by allowing individuals to build their niches within their responsibilities, which increases job happiness. Furthermore, our thorough incentive program is intended to not only reward hard work but also foster a feeling of pride and ownership in the successes made. Finally, a satisfied and motivated team is the foundation of our combined success.”

Taking the Trajectory Ahead

The future holds exciting expansion plans for Area 83. The team is gearing up to bring the thrill of adventure to new horizons by establishing two additional locations in Bangalore. Furthermore, the strategic vision extends to the vibrant cities of Mumbai and Hyderabad, where they aim to introduce the similar array of exhilarating experiences offered by Area 83.
