Shitiz Garg, the founder of Design Your Nest, is an accomplished entrepreneur in the interior design industry. With a background in architecture and over 12 years of experience in residential architecture and interiors, Shitiz has established himself as a prominent figure in the field.
Before starting his own company, Shitiz gained valuable knowledge and insights from working with various brands as their architect across India. He emphasized the importance of learning about new materials, construction techniques, and the functional aspects of design. The principle of “Form Follows Function” guides his approach to both architecture and interiors.
Shitiz believes in respecting clients’ thoughts and requirements, striving to turn their vision into reality. While his team may have differing opinions, he values strong logic and open communication when sharing alternative ideas with clients.
Design Your Nest, founded in 2020, has made significant strides with over 120 completed projects ranging from 1 lakh to 1 crore in budget. What started as a one-man operation running from Shitiz’s bedroom has grown into a thriving company with a team of 57 professionals, including designers, project managers, craftsmen, and support staff. The company also operates a factory for modular furniture and utilizes in-house machines, while outsourcing certain aspects of the projects.
The company focuses on five key areas that have made a significant impact in the market: an exhibition center that offers clients access to the factory and outlet in one location, real-time updates through CCTV cameras installed at project sites, vaastu compliance, a one-stop-shop for architecture and interiors, and a lifetime warranty on plywood and laminates.
