The Journey of Aanjaneya Projects in Architecture and Interior Design

Holding a diploma in computers, my journey into architecture and interior design began with a fascination for 3D modeling and rendering. My initial foray into multimedia and 3D house modeling sparked a deep interest in interior design. After a stint in various corporate jobs, where I found little satisfaction, I decided to venture into my own interior design business, “The Main Wall.” Coming from a middle-class background, my goal has always been to offer luxury living within budget constraints. Eventually, I integrated my interior design business as a sub-department within Aanjaneya Projects, founded by Rajesh Gadde, who later became my life partner. Together, we strengthened the architecture and interior department alongside the construction division.
