Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Hiten Patel: Since childhood, I have possessed a curious and innovative mindset. Becoming an architect demands a genuine passion for design, problem-solving, and the creation of functional spaces. Throughout, my college years, we were tasked with crafting miniature models alongside two plans. The sight of these miniature structures never failed to captivate me, ultimately propelling me toward a career in the architectural and interior design industry. Witnessing the disarrayed structures in my surroundings in the year 2000, especially when compared to developed countries, inspired me to establish my own business and make a positive impact on society.

To overcome such situations, I grabbed every opportunity that was thrown my way. Being an entrepreneur, wearing many hats, and working for long hours makes it challenging to balance other personal commitments.

Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
Hiten Patel: I emphasize the importance of self-improvement as the ultimate guru, surpassing any motivational book or speaker. I encourage studying the timeless teachings of 'Shrimad Bhagavad Gita', an esteemed scripture of Sanatan Dharma.
The Gita’s profound wisdom remains constant, unlike fleeting motivational trends. Furthermore, Architecture and design are creative, life uplifting, and joyful field. Embrace this creative freedom and use it to push the boundaries of what's possible and to come up with new and innovative solutions.
As the world faces increasing environmental challenges, it's more important than ever for architects and designers to focus on sustainability. Architecture and design can be challenging fields, and you'll likely face obstacles and setbacks along the way.
However, persistence and determination are key to success, and by embracing these qualities, you can overcome challenges and achieve your goals.
