co-founder. labNbnbs. GRÜHAM. merakiStudio. WikiHouseBOM.

I was born in the city of Bombay. My family moved to a village. I spent my early days in the midst of nature. silent, bare and listening.

I moved to Belgaum to study architecture at KLSGIT - Visvesvaraya Technological University. I spent my days at university meeting people, travelling, participating in international competitions which led on to form my first venture - merakiStudio.

I moved to Bangalore to work with internship office. Later I was given a chance to be a partner at a friend's architectural office. I returned home to find new design strategies alone. A very blessed life until now.

Followed by a few short stints at de.sign studio, research at roomforarchitecture, I did The Hive, Bandra and Maker's Asylum, Andheri.

Soon enough, the WikiHouse community let Sachin Maheshwari and me start - WikiHouseBOM chapter in Mumbai.

Sachin & me started -

1. GRÜHAM. - a venture that builds WikiHouse inspired architecture.

2. labNbnbs. - a place where you can bunk while you are at work. labnbnb designs, fabricates and delivers opendesk furniture for you.

For now, that's all folk.

I will add on as and when something interesting happens. If you want to feel more up to-date, you can follow me on social media - twitter & tumblr.
