Welcome to Fall in Love with Spaces You Live, Work, Enjoy, and Celebrate Your Life?mes in Mr. Sammeer Pakvasa, Managing Director and CEO, Eleganz Interiors Pvt Ltd Imagine the thrill we felt when we were honoured with the award for our work on the General Electric (GE) JF Technology Centre, colloquially known as the Bangalore Engineering Center.

Best Interior Design and Build Companies in India W so that the beholder realizes the adage 'Beauty traps beholder into its embrace' in their lifetime's reality. hat is elegance? A tranquil beauty, after beholding which, the beholder gets entrapped into a magical spell of the finest quality. So much On the top right corner was the logo and the name – Hexaware. Below it, on the left side, the date, 08.01.2020. Thus, the letter began. All three tours, with their all-around revolving, game-like 3D immersive-ness, are virtually engrossing and truly mesmerizing. The interiors have a deep sense of vibrancy that sweeps you off your feet into the otherworldly sensations of dream-like surreality. "Dear Mr Sammeer, Bless such beautiful marvels in this world, my sore eyes in search of elegance struck gold when I visited the campus of an IT company virtually. The sprawling campus was like a vast canvas of modern sensibilities infused with artistic grandeur of the most magnificent kind. Yet profoundly simple, yet brilliantly opulent. The calming Buddha statue at the entrance and the vast reception counters at both the main office and IT departments were like places from beyond your futuristic imagination. With this letter, I would like to express our gratitude for the excellent work your team has done for the recent design and build project of our new office of 197268 Sft on four floors with 2600 seats at LOMA, Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai. We truly appreciate your team's valuable time and effort invested in successfully delivering each milestone of the project with a high standard of professionalism. The first and only question in my mind was, 'What kind of collective geniuses imagined, dreamt, visualized, designed, created, and crafted such wonderfully enchanting spaces?’ Apt came the answer, "We atEleganz Interiors Pvt Ltd have done it," from Mr Sammeer Pakvasa, the Managing Director. Mr Sammeer was giving me the virtual tour on his smartphone. The design is remarkable, and it speaks about the essence of our Brand. Positioning of formal and informal collaborative areas inspires our staff to rejuvenate and work in different ways according to their well-being. Further, the use of Biophilic elements in the design is transforming our work energy with positive vibes. This innovative, energetic set-up is incredible and speaks about the excellence of Eleganz as a Design and Build partner for redefining spaces. When Mind Finds its Serenity The virtual tour is divided into three majors––amenities, main entrance, and Loma IT. In amenities, there are: a specious library studded with literary gems, a challenger room inviting you to recreate, a sports area alluring you to indulge in outdoor athletics, a VIP lounge of international quality, and a cafeteria that will make you hungry. The main entrance has a picturesque reception counter. While the Loma IT area has a spacious board room along with a separate reception desk. For a moment, I was speechless. Then I asked, what is the name of this IT firm for which you have designed such elegant panoramas of craftsmanship. In answer, Mr Sammeer showed me an appreciation letter. We've also teamed up with heavy-hitters like Amazon, Google, Walmart, and Microsoft.

Mr Sammeer happily obliged. In 2001, as a student at Rachana Sansad's Academy of Architecture College in Mumbai, life took a pivotal turn for Mr Sammeer. His father, Mr Akshay Pakvasa, the Founder of Eleganz Interiors, secured a significant project in Bangalore. Mr Sammeer recalled, "Concurrently, we faced a personal challenge — my mother's cancer diagnosis." facing global benchmarks and tackling safety and specification standards that were fresh pages in the Indian playbook," he added. Mr Sammeer continued, "But guess what? We nailed it! It was more than a project; it was a canvas where we painted our creativity, showcased our mettle in managing massive tasks, and stamped our commitment to top-tier excellence. And GE isn't our only dance partner on the global stage. We've also teamed up with heavy-hitters like Amazon, Google, Walmart, and Microsoft. Closer to home? We've rubbed shoulders with India's finest: Samsung, Adani Group, HDFC Bank, and TCS. You, too, are welcome to join us on this exhilarating journey!” Instead of succumbing to these challenges, Mr Sammeer stepped up, overseeing the project and allowing his father to be with Mr Sammeer's mother. "Thankfully, my mother is now healthy and thriving. Eleganz Interiors' journey is emblematic of how personal and professional trials can forge a resilient and passionate team," he reflected. Regaling the Saga Thus, unknown to him, his motivation was already there. "In my early twenties, the path ahead was unclear. Yet, watching my father navigate high-stakes corporate projects amid adversity galvanized me to embrace this dynamic industry," he added. Last but not least, the Eleganz team worked very closely with our team and has demonstrated their availability, flexibility, creativity and responsiveness to our needs to deliver one of our best facilities, keeping in mind the high standards of safety, quality, and achieving the timelines. Keep up the good work, and Best of luck for the future. I was already curious about Mr Sammeer and Eleganz's saga. So, I requested him to begin from the beginning, from the commencing of his journey to Elganz's becoming the 'Best Interior Design and Build Companies in India.’ Our thanks to you as the Lead, Sunil Mistry and Aravind, for their immense contribution. I truly appreciate the team's contributions! We really appreciate the design and build capability of your team, and we have no hesitation in recommending your company for any size of Design and build. With regards, duly signed by S. Suresh Pandian, Assistant Vice President, Hexaware Technologies.” Unequivocally Ultra Universal It is one of the numerous biggest projects that team Eleganz has accomplished. Highlighting another transformative project that embodies their ethos of excellence and innovation, Mr Sammeer said, "Imagine the thrill we felt when we were honoured with the award for our work on the General Electric (GE) JF Technology Centre, colloquially known as the Bangalore Engineering Center.” Spanning an impressive million square feet, it wasn't just any project. It represented GE's boldest step outside the US, their maiden and largest research and development sanctuary abroad. "This was uncharted territory for us too,

He champions open communication and encourages a collaborative workspace. This approach cultivates a motivated and cohesive team. Finally, when asked what is next for Eleganz Interiors, Mr Sammeer divulges that After their successful launch in Singapore, they're eyeing the east coast for further expansion. "The global interior design industry's growth forecasts align with our ambitions, especially in the Asia- Pacific region. Beyond geographic expansion, we're also diversifying into corporate construction, eager to ascend to even greater heights," he concludes. An Immersive Artistry of the Highest Craft Serving thy Emperors Further, they balance operational efficiency with customer satisfaction in the realm of interior design by merging cutting-edge technologies like 3D visualization, AR, and VR with resource optimization. "We offer clients immersive experiences even before construction starts. This fusion ensures we consistently exceed expectations," claims Mr Sammeer. There is a robust guiding philosophy behind the emergence of Elganz's number one position: "Our guiding principle is, 'Customer is King.' We prioritize understanding our clients' unique visions. Whether they emphasize quality, timely delivery, safety, or the entire service experience, we're committed to turning their vision into reality.” Eleganz Interiors Hall of Fame At last, Mr Sammer showed me another letter of appreciation from BGEPIL and a snapshot of an appreciation email from Siemens Ltd.

Smart thermostats, lighting systems, and automated shading solutions help optimize energy use, enhancing the sustainability of living spaces. These technologies allow homeowners to monitor and control their energy consumption efficiently. Healthier Homes: Eco-friendly materials often contribute to improved indoor air quality, reducing respiratory issues and allergies. Financial paperwork strategy Natural Light for Wellbeing: Strategically maximizing natural light not only reduces energy consumption but also creates a more calming and restorative atmosphere. Locally Sourced: Modern firms are increasingly sourcing materials and furniture from local artisans and businesses. This not only reduces the environmental impact of transportation but also supports the local economy. Durability for Long-Term Value: Sustainable construction practices ensure your home is built to last, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing its resale value. Innovative Design Techniques: Modern interior design firms employ innovative techniques to enhance energy efficiency and reduce waste.

These strategies lower energy consumption and create more comfortable living spaces. A Collaborative Effort for a Sustainable Future This revolution in interior design is a collaborative effort between forward-thinking design firms and responsible construction companies. By working together, they are empowering homeowners to make a positive impact on the planet while creating beautiful and healthy living spaces. Community and Cultural Sensitivity: Modern design firms are also sensitive to the cultural and community aspects of sustainability. By incorporating local materials and collaborating with local artisans, they support local economies and preserve cultural heritage. This practice ensures that sustainability is holistic, benefiting both the environment and the community. The Future of Sustainable Design Modern interior design firms are essential drivers of sustainable living, leveraging innovative materials, techniques, and technologies to create eco-friendly and health-conscious spaces. Their commitment to sustainability extends beyond design, encompassing education, community involvement, and a dedication to green practices. As these firms continue to lead by example, they pave the way for a more sustainable future in the interior design industry. Commitment to Green Certifications: Many leading interior design firms are committed to achieving green certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). These certifications ensure that the buildings and interiors meet stringent environmental standards, further solidifying the firm's dedication to sustainable practices. As environmental consciousness continues to grow, sustainable design will undoubtedly become the norm in interior design. Modern firms are at the forefront of this movement, offering homeowners the opportunity to create beautiful, functional, and eco-friendly living spaces. By embracing sustainable practices, these designers are helping to shape a future where style meets responsibility, ensuring a comfortable living experience for us and a healthier planet for generations to come. Educating Clients: Educating clients about the benefits of sustainable living is a crucial part of the process. Designers actively involve clients in the decision-making process, highlighting the long-term benefits of eco-friendly choices. This education fosters a broader cultural shift towards sustainability.
