Our Studio, Design Philosophy & Team

We met in college and started our studio eight years ago. Beyond being business partners, we're also the best of friends. This is us outside our new studio extension.

We love approaching each project through a storytelling lens, diving into our clients' journeys and reflecting their personalities in the spaces we create. Here's Sid, contemplating a mood board in our studio.

It's always been our dream to be a global design consultancy, leaving a little mark of STaND around the world. We treat our work as a personal diary, sharing our wins and our process with our community.

We started STaND because we wanted to build a studio that inspired us to design. A space that enables balance, free thought, and collaboration. This is a glimpse of our team at work in our Mumbai office.

A full house at the office today. This video captures the creative chaos and focused energy of our team, with everyone working on different aspects of our ongoing projects.

A fun moment in the studio. We're debating the perfect shade of yellow for a hospitality project's material palette. These lively discussions are a big part of our collaborative design process.

A typical day at the studio, with some team members working on renders while being easily distracted by our founder, Sid. We believe in a culture that balances hard work with lighthearted moments.

We're entering 2025 with a stellar, strong team and renewed energy. Growing a consistent team is hard work, but change is the only constant, and we're excited for what's to come with this group.

Our office is Nikita's family home, a heritage bungalow in Chembur designed over 60 years ago. We feel a deep responsibility to preserve its legacy, maintaining its timeless facade, terrazzo floors, and intricate grill work.
