FROM THE FIRST QUESTION TO THE LAST DETAIL. 01
DESIGN / SPACES / EXECUTION Grandly

Spaces with
character.

From the first sketch to the last detail. Architecture, interiors, materials and the way a space makes you feel.

Aditya Group
ON THE
GROUND. 02
EDUCATION / SPORT / COMMUNITY Aditya Group

Room for
bigger ideas.

Learning environments, sporting ambition and businesses built around people. A continuing journey of building for the long term.

APE Studios
PLAY. 03
FILM / BRAND / COMMUNICATION APE Studios

Ideas made
impossible to ignore.

Stories, images and identities with a point of view. Bringing film thinking into the way brands speak, look and move.

TRY.
GROW. MONEY SKILLS FOR REAL LIFE.

LEARNING / MONEY / WHAT’S NEXT OWNLY

Money skills.
For real life.

An idea I’m building: helping young people get comfortable with money through engaging, age-appropriate learning.

01 / 04
There’s a person in here, too.

A father. A builder. Occasionally, the DJ.

Some days are about a space taking shape. Some are about a track coming in at just the right moment.

And some are about being exactly where I’m needed.

THE AA7 QUESTION DECK

What’s a bad idea you would happily try again?

A show concept for people, stories and unexpected tangents.

THE PHOTO JUKEBOX / 22 MOMENTS. ONE ME.

LIFE.
ON SHUFFLE.

The people. The places. The late nights.
A few sides you don’t see in a job title.

01 / 22

SWIPE THE SLEEVES. TAP TO LOOK CLOSER.

05 / A FEW OPEN TABS IDEAS, IN VARIOUS STATES OF UNDONE.

Inside
my head.

My browser has fewer tabs
than my brain.

OPEN A THOUGHT. FOLLOW A TANGENT. TAP A THOUGHT. OPEN A TANGENT. PLEASE LEAVE THE TABS OPEN.
01 / IN THE MAKING
A space starts with a question.

A space starts with a question.

How do you want to feel when you walk in? Before the materials and the details, that is a good place to start.

02 / AN IDEA WORTH BUILDING

Money skills. Before money mistakes.

OWNLY starts with a simple thought: money should feel less mysterious when you meet it early. Try a small example below.

A LITTLE MONEY EXPERIMENT

You have ₹1,000.
You put ₹200 aside.
What’s yours to spend?

Small decisions. Useful lessons. Exactly. ₹800 to spend, ₹200 for future you. Try again: take ₹200 away from ₹1,000.

03 / AN EXCELLENT DISTRACTION
Just one more track.

Just one more track.

A record, a room, a few good people. Sometimes the next thing to build is a good evening.

04 / THE IMPORTANT STUFF
The best company.

The best company.

There is a life between the projects. These are a few of the moments I keep coming back to.

05 / OPEN QUESTION
What can a new tool change?

What can a new tool change?

A sketch. A story. A different way to look at a problem. AI is one of the tools I’m exploring across design, creativity and business.

06 / YOUR TURN GOOD THINGS START WITH A HELLO.

Have a
good one?

An idea. A project.
A conversation worth having.
