A born rebel who never followed the playbook, his love for both architecture and biking informs his design process, drawing on the sense of freedom he experiences on the road to fuel his creative thinking in the studio.

He started his career as a founding member of Novatr, formerly known as Oneistox, and played a pivotal role in driving the company’s growth through his exceptional management of branding and product development.

He is equally focused and results driven at his work. His strong management skills are a cornerstone of the studio, ensuring that projects are executed seamlessly and efficiently.

Sahil Suvarna

Junior Architect

A marathon runner at the age of 15, Sahil’s determination and discipline on the field reflects perfectly in his work off the field and in the studio as well.
