- WITH PAVITRA RAJARAM

Pavitra Rajaram wears many hats — and wears them with flair. As the creative director of her namesake firm Pavitra Rajaram Design, she brings a richly layered approach to interiors that draws on history, heritage, and craft. She also helms Nilaya Anthology by Asian Paints as creative director, where she curates storytelling through surface design. At Sarmaya India, she plays the role of brand custodian, championing the preservation and reinterpretation of Indian art and culture. Warm, welcoming, and full of insight, Pavitra made our visit to her chic Mumbai home a real delight.
