Introducing Ekta Agarwal

The founder, director and chief designer of FOAID Design Studio. The company was established in the year 2007 with her then partner Ar. Suny Akber. They were associated together for ten years with many successful projects.

She is a passionate and hardworking soul that individually runs the entire show. With twenty years of experience at hand, the company tries to extend its boundaries outside of its comfort zone. Over the years, the company has worked on several projects where the typologies of the buildings have been many. To her, every project is a new experience that helps us learn and expand our creative abilities.

A little more about our boss; she is sweet and innocent by nature, who has the abilities to mimic anyone over a good glass of wine. She makes sure that every individual at the office is always in good health (making her our full time in-house doctor) and keeping us satiated with lots of goodies. She gives each one of her designers the opportunity to lead the project under her constant guidance, to strive towards excellence. 
Cheers to her for all her efforts and sincerity put into this company.
