founders

The company was formed in 1991 by Jyotimitra and Sundeep Khushu. They came together in a collaborative effort on a small but interesting project.
This was a small farm house to be built incorporating eco-friendly building technology with unbaked mud blocks made from earth dug out from the site itself. In 1994, Pratibha joined the firm bringing with her the experience of environmental and ecological planning. With this solid foundation and ideology, they formed Aadharshila Designs Pvt. Ltd.
