Design-O-Dwells: Where Passion and Practicality Converge

Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Bangalore, where dreams took residence in every nook and cranny, there lived an IT engineer named Rupraj Lagnajeet Mohanty. Little did he know that his journey would lead him from the world of IT infrastructure to the enchanting realm of interior design.

It all began with a pivotal moment—the day Rupraj purchased his own flat in Bengaluru. Eager to transform his living space into a haven, he embarked on a quest to find the perfect interior solution. Much to his dismay, the options were starkly divided: on one side were the costly interior companies, and on the other, the more economical yet subpar services of individual carpenters.

Faced with this dilemma, Rupraj saw an opportunity. A vision was born—to bridge the gap between affordability and quality in the world of home interiors. This marked the inception of Design-O-Dwells, a venture that would redefine living spaces and make dreams come true.

In 2019, armed with determination and a clear vision, Rupraj officially registered Design-O-Dwells. His journey from an IT professional to the founder of an innovative interior design firm had begun.

Design-O-Dwells quickly became a haven for those seeking modern interiors without the hefty price tag. Rupraj’s own flat became the inaugural canvas for the company, a testament to his commitment to quality and affordability. The team expanded, and their office in Bangalore East buzzed with creativity and enthusiasm.

The success of Design-O-Dwells was not just limited to interiors; it expanded beyond walls. Rupraj introduced “Apna Balcony,” a groundbreaking concept focusing on designing balconies. With an upcoming application allowing clients to design their balcony spaces effortlessly, Design-O-Dwells embraced technology in the pursuit of innovative design solutions.

Beyond business, Rupraj envisioned Design-O-Dwells as a social impact initiative—a one-stop solution for middle-class families aspiring to turn their houses into homes. The company’s transparent and integrity-driven approach aimed to redefine the interior design experience.

Specializing in residential home interiors, Design-O-Dwells became synonymous with customization excellence. Rupraj and his team took pride in offering tailored solutions that matched clients’ budgets without compromising on quality.

Rupraj’s journey was not without its share of challenges. Managing client expectations, navigating the uncertainties of entrepreneurship, and the pressure of delivering top-notch service were constant companions. Yet, with the unwavering support of his family—parents, wife, and daughter Saashi—Rupraj weathered the storms and emerged stronger.

The essentials of entrepreneurship, as learned by Rupraj, included a deep understanding of the business, placing the right people in the right positions, transparency, and a robust backup plan. His philosophy embraced continuous learning, resilience in the face of challenges, and a commitment to responsibility and ownership.

As Design-O-Dwells grew, Rupraj celebrated not just the success of the company but the relationships forged with clients. Early supporters, like Mr. and Mrs. Sunny Sharma, became part of the Design-O-Dwells family, symbolizing trust and belief in the company’s vision.

The journey, however, was not just about financial success; it was about embracing challenges, learning from every experience, and growing continuously. Failures, in Rupraj’s view, were not roadblocks but stepping stones to improvement.

In the bustling metropolis of Bangalore, where innovation and tradition coexist, Rupraj’s vision for Design-O-Dwells became a beacon of change. As the company expanded its horizons and ventured into new territories, Rupraj Lagnajeet Mohanty’s odyssey in architecture continued to inspire—a tale of resilience, innovation, and a commitment to transforming living spaces for the better. And so, the story of Design-O-Dwells, under Rupraj’s visionary leadership, continued to unfold, one beautifully designed space at a time.
