AIhad Gore is a highly experienced architect A over 29 years, contributing a wealth of knowledge to the company and exhibits exceptional skills in corporate and IT fitouts. Beyond Design operates in the fields of architecture, interior design, and project audit, with a strong commitment to going beyond mere aesthetics and delving into the functional aspects of projects. The firm prides itself on providing services like HVAC and Electrical to ensure that projects not only look visually appealing but also deliver optimal performance.

The firm has received numerous accolades, showcasing their excellence in various projects. The firm's commendable work on Project Globant in Pune, India, was acknowledged at the SBID International Design Awards 2016. This winning project seamlessly incorporated natural inspirations and a collaborative ethos into the office space, fostering co-working with elements like moss in the reception, a 'walk in the woods' path leading to the cafeteria, and a 'learning tree' collaborative space.

Alhad pointed out that the contemporary workplace scenario is witnessing significant transformation, with all stakeholders and all end users having an equal say in project decisions. The ultimate focus lies in creating an experiential office space.
