About founder

From 2012 to Entrepreneurial Visionary

Pradeep Nagraj, born in 1970 in Bangalore, has always been driven by creativity, a keen eye for detail, and a deep technical understanding. After completing his BE in Automobile Engineering from Pune University, he began his career in the automobile industry, where he worked for three years. However, his interest in IT led him to pursue a diploma in the field, after which he transitioned into the IT sector. He started as a sales executive in small IT companies but found the role unfulfilling. Determined to find his niche, Pradeep eventually secured a position at NIIT's IT division. Over the next 18 years, he built a successful career in IT, working with companies like NIIT, Planetasia, Wipro, and CITI. His last role at CITI involved managing an offshoring division with over 120 IT professionals across different vendors.

Pradeep's creative journey began in childhood, surrounded by a family deeply involved in cultural and artistic activities. This early exposure to various creative mediums, including drawing and painting, laid the foundation for his passion for craftsmanship and design.

Building a Dream into Reality

Pradeep's entrepreneurial journey was fueled by a passion for creativity and a commitment to quality. However, the initial stages were fraught with challenges. With limited funds, no marketing experience, and difficulties in finding skilled woodworkers, the path was not easy. Pradeep's insistence on quality and a process-driven approach added to the complexity, requiring constant vigilance and education to ensure his team met his high standards.

One of the significant challenges was building trust with clients in an industry often marred by unethical practices. Pradeep was determined to prove his integrity, operating with transparency and dedication. His commitment to ethical practices and process-driven outcomes helped him earn the trust of his clients, setting his venture apart in the interior design field.
