[1/4] The Mahabharata 360 Project – Developing a visual language for India’s greatest epic, for all media
A leading film production house in India wanted to build on the Mahabharata – India’s greatest epic, and create ALL possible media spin-offs from it. The design office was charged with creating and incubation a special-projects team. Put in charge of the operation, I put together a small team of eight, comprising of architects, artists, animators, production designers and graphic designers

We chose to approach the complicated problem by creating a consistent visual language for all collateral. After an initial process of exploration, we broke down the visual deliverables into four primary components. Characters, Weapons & Armour, Environments and Transportation

Throughout the development process, the team dynamics of extremely talented but egoistic individuals , played out in interesting ways. Conflict resolution – both creative and commercial was collaborative and dialogue based, rather than linear command-and-control. Developing collateral for identity and marketing, creating market-launch strategy, etc, all happened by methods of round-table critique and repetitive iteration. Leadership was more akin to first-among-equals, with analogies of the knights of the round table adding context as well as purpose to the mythology-centric exercise.

The first spin-off of the project, an immersive multi-media stage-show titled “Karna, Warrior of the Sun” Ran into packed theatre for its 3 weeks of running. Subsequent projects on the Mahabharata are currently under development.

[3/4] Select CITYWALK – Strategic design management for a USD 100 million mixed use facility carrying
1.3 million sq ft of commercial space
A leading travel, tourism and hospitality group won the bid to develop a mixed-use retail facility in the heart of downtown New Delhi. Invited to join the start-up team for the SPV company as the fourth member, the initial mandate was to work closely with the team, and take a leadership role in co-ordinating and managing the external design consultants.

Serving as the central node between Architects, Interior Designers, Branding & Leasing Agencies, Potential Tenants, Lighting Designers and Landscape Architects, the primary objective was to safeguard commercial interests of the project. The mechanics and dynamics of debt funding, competition in a saturated market, dealing with discounted cash-flows and future operation plans – all served to focus efforts of external agencies – not merely through the lens of good design, but good business as well.

Additional roles during the tenure as Design Manager were to develop critical B2B collateral, participate in leasing negotiations as a subject-matter-expert, and develop theming of various spaces based on customer needs.Close attention was paid to issues of catchment, location, trade & tenant mixing, visitor experience and brand recall for B2C marketing transition.

The facility, when completed, went on to win multiple design and customer satisfaction awards, including “Most Admired Shopping Centre” for 3 years in succession. Today, this serves as the principal retail landmark of New Delhi, impacting the architectural fabric of the city, as well as the retail dynamics of the country.International brands ranging from luxury retail to apparel, to F&B and entertainment operate out of this facility. What is significant is that vision developed during initial design is met without alteration in the present avatar.

As “Delhi”, “Project”, “Design” and “Development” stand out, and “Architect” is subdued, tells a lot, that a first glance at a CV does not.
