About

Most designers create stunning renders. KOLAB creates stunning spaces—and delivers them. After 8+ years of designing and delivering luxury homes, retail, boutique offices, and F&B spaces across the country, I have learnt that beautiful design isn't enough. What really matters is design that works — and execution you can trust. That's why I founded KOLAB: to combine creative vision with build-ready precision. Early in my career, I worked with established firms such as K2 India and Livspace. I learned design fundamentals, project workflows, and how to scale — but I also witnessed a recurring problem. Designers created the vision. Contractors handled execution. And when things went wrong — delays, budget overruns, quality compromises — nobody truly owned the outcome. Clients ended up managing chaos, not enjoying inspiring spaces. In 2020, I co-founded Studio Redefine to prove a better way. (10+ projects delivered in 2 years). But I wanted to go further. In 2022, I launched KOLAB, a full-fledged Design-and-Build Brand where one contract, one team, and one point of accountability handle everything — from concept to handover. What We Deliver: -Residential: From apartments to villas-Bespoke interiors reflecting your lifestyle. -Retail: Customer-flow optimized showrooms. -Offices: Aesthetic + productive workspaces. -F&B: Immersive ambiences that retain guests. How we do it(Our 8-Step Process): -Initial Consultation -Proposal & scope definition -Detailed design, material selection, and drawings. -Civil execution & factory work in parallel -Installation, quality checks, and finishing touches. -Final handover with client walkthrough — ready for you to move in What we’ve achieved: -20+ premium projects delivered in 3 years. -Featured: Architectural Digest, Good Homes, India Today Home, etc. -Awards: India's Young Design Icon (A+D), Young Achiever (Acetech). -60% + of our work comes from referrals Let’s talk: If you’re ready to turn your vision into a space you’ll love to live or work in — without the stress — let’s connect.
