Tell us a little bit about yourself and your journey as an architect & entrepreneur, please;
So our journey as an entrepreneur started 5 years ago. We always wanted to create our own brand and add value to the lives of our clients through the venture.

After working under various experienced architects and developers of Mumbai, we always had the ambition to have our own name established in the field of architecture.

We as humans are part of nature so we should be in harmony with it. So we are working in lives to develop that niche.
What challenges/obstacles did you face in your journey so far?
Every business has risks. Our risks are associated with a right skillset that we look for expansion in future. We already have a core niche team but I see from future expansion perspective, we would need innovative minds, with the flexible thought process. Although, with a clearly defined process, and innovative means to reach out to search resource, we are confident enough that we will mitigate it.

What advice would you give to someone starting out?
We always believe that a venture is started with a cause or reason in mind. So many ups and downs will have to be encountered during the journey but that reason keeps us going.
