Meet the Team Behind Griot Studio

We do not just draft plans and walk away. Our process starts with informal coffee chats to understand what makes you tick, followed by detailed mood boards that bridge the gap between your Pinterest ideas and structural reality. We bring technical drawings to the table early, so you know exactly how that compact Mumbai apartment will function long before the first wall is painted.

At Griot Studio, we look at design as a way to tell your story. Our team is led by Prayag Nandgaonkar and Leena Pillai, who bring a shared passion for creating spaces that feel both modern and deeply personal. We were honoured to be recognized as the Creative & Futuristic Interior Design Firm of the Year 2023, but for us, the real win is walking into a home we helped transform and seeing it function perfectly for the people living there.

We specialize in turnkey interior renovation, meaning we manage everything from the initial site measurement to the final styling of cushions. This is particularly crucial for Mumbai homeowners who want a high-end look without the stress of chasing multiple vendors. Whether you are aiming for a serene Japandi-style bedroom or need clever, custom furniture to maximize a small living room, we approach every project as a unique puzzle.

Our method is deeply collaborative. We believe that your home should reflect your life, not just the latest trends. That is why we spend time refining layouts and brainstorming concepts—sometimes even from our favorite cafes—before we commit to a design. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, from the selection of stucco paint textures and rattan wardrobes to the lighting plans that define the mood of your home. If you are looking for an interior design studio in Mumbai that listens as much as it creates, we would love to connect.
