Great Companies- What steps do you take to ensure efficiency in your work?
Sumegh P. Shinde: We believe that our work is efficient if we achieve the design values that we vouch for. We have a process that goes stage-wise.
Great Companies- What are the strategies you follow to stay ahead of your competitors?
Sumegh P. Shinde: The world today is witnessing a drastic climate change and buildings are unable to respond to the climate. Our approach towards design and choice of materials is inclined to the climate responsive nature of buildings for a comfortable and memorable experience of the designed space. Which means high usage of locally sourced natural building materials.
Great Companies- What is your success mantra? Sumegh P. Shinde: Never agree to the opinion that you are successful. Innovation in design with a perspective of climate responsiveness and energy efficiency keeps us going ahead.
Great Companies- What suggestions would you give to future business corporations and budding entrepreneurs? Sumegh P. Shinde: Business should not be looked upon as competition with peers rather should be looked upon as collaboration with peers. This is what will help each other grow steadily.
