In 2003, when I assumed the position of Principal Architect and Partner at IMK Architects, the period was marked by significant shifts in India’s socio-cultural landscape –– in a liberalised economy. Models of patronage and typologies of projects were evolving while modern technology made inroads into the architecture and construction industry. Concerns of climate change emerged in the mainstream discourse as well. We at IMK Architects had always focused our practice on social consciousness and urban ecological sensitivity. Today, a unique, collaborative SCRUM based design process that involves intense workshops with all project stakeholders, ensures the effective and efficient delivery of holistic design solutions from buildings to city master-plans –– vibrant, dynamic, healthy and robust spaces where people thrive. As the Principal and Partner at IMK Architects, I have led several architecture and town planning projects. Some of our notable projects are for Tata’s, JSW and the Reliance group, Hotels & Resorts for Taj & Club Mahindra, College Campuses for Symbiosis and The Supreme Court Of India, and more. Beyond a passion for creating places where people and nature thrive – a guiding philosophy for our work at IMK Architects, I am an active participant and the Managing Trustee of ‘Save The Children India’ – an organization that is committed to the cause of education for lesser privileged children. I am also the Vice-President of The Pride India (Planning Rural-Urban Integrated Development through Education), an NGO, to promote the holistic development of marginalized rural people by adopting an integrated approach that is focused on health, education, and empowerment. Trustee of Kadri Foundation, that runs a school for under-privileged girls in the walled City of Ahmedabad.
