It’s windy as Anjum Jung strolls into the lawns of her lush holiday-home, overlooking acres and acres of their family-owned golf course. The Nandi Hills in the far horizon create a picture of perfect serenity and quietude, frequently broken by the chirping of myriad birds. “Ah! That’s a duck,” exclaims Omer looking skyward. He’s an avid wildlifer who spends a fair amount of time in the jungles of India and Africa. It’s a family thing for Omer. His brother Saad Bin Jung is known for being a tireless conservationist who has worked extensively in the jungles of South India. In fact, once Omer returned from LSE (London School of Economics) in 1992, he joined Wipro in the company’s finance division only to quit in three-and-a-half-years to work with Saad on his various jungle resorts and properties.

Omer’s wife Anjum’s interests are different. She started out as an interior designer almost 30 years ago with barely any knowledge of the subject then. But, three decades down, the story is quite different now. “I didn’t have too many choices to pursue, so I decided to do a course in interior design and integrate my work with what my brothers were doing. They were developers at that time. It went hand in hand. I started out without putting much thought and jumped into the ocean without knowing how to swim. I had to work myself ground up. And what happened in the evolution of working ground up, is that I inadvertently started vertically integrating all design aspects under one banner,” says Anjum, who runs Morph Design Company along with several other design portfolios, taking on all design work for the Prestige Group, one of South India’s leading real estate businesses.
