The founders

Two friends. A shared conviction.

An independent practice led by Aastha Batra and Swati Agarwal.

A friendship at the heart of the practice.

A shared interest in materials, craft and the way people inhabit space brought their perspectives together. That curiosity continues to shape the studio’s work.

Each founder brings more than ten years of industry experience, as recorded in the studio’s 2025 portfolio. Their shared professional background references Studio Lotus and 42MM.
