Creativity is contagious and that holds true for Mahesh Punjabi, a leading interior designer from Mumbai. Coming from a business family Mahesh was bit by the design bug and long ventured out of his father’s business to make a mark on his own. His first assignment as an intern was at Tina Anil Ambani’s house in Mumbai. This was followed by a string of several dynamic residences and uber-cool projects he finished for the rich and famous and ever since then there has been no looking back. The team at Mahesh Punjabi Associates has worked on elaborately designed bespoke high-end residences across UAE, Africa and India. The studio is based out of Bandra, Mumbai and offers a comprehensive range of interior design services. The company is now also operating in Dubai and has ambitious plans of expanding its footprint in the Gulf region. Mahesh’s expertise lies in dishing out ultra luxury projects and amenities like designer swimming pools, clubhouses, discotheques and everything that makes for grand living – be it residential, commercial, hospitality or even landscapes. Blessed with an eclectic taste in design, Mahesh’s personal life is equally interesting. A keen adventure sports enthusiast, Mahesh loves to indulge in things that get his adrenaline pumping.
