Pink Apple

What Pink Apple does

PinkApple, legally Pinkapple Studio Pvt Ltd, is a Bangalore-headquartered bespoke furniture and lighting manufacturer founded by Archana Ganapathy Poonacha. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom commercial interior furnishings for offices, hospitality venues (hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes), retail spaces, and educational institutions across India. Operations combine an in-house design studio with a network of traditional Indian artisans, positioning the "Make in India" artisan-craft narrative as a core brand element. Documented enterprise customers include Hard Rock Cafe (multiple global locations), Byg Ventures, Una Hacienda, CloudFx, Sri Kumarans Childrens Academy, and Pangeo Bengaluru, with the largest referenced project being a 500-piece, 20,000 sq ft luxury bar for Byg Ventures.

The commercial offering has two distinct revenue channels. First, a project-based Custom Solutions vertical delivers end-to-end bespoke furniture and lighting from concept through installation, supported by 3D photorealistic rendering for design preview; minimum order quantity is Rs 5.5 Lakhs or 25+ items with a 75% advance payment requirement, and pan-India delivery is fulfilled within 12 working days. Four tiered design service packages (INR 45, 75, 95, and 125 per sq.ft.) monetize design services independently, ranging from basic mood boards and 2D layouts through 3D renders, working drawings, and MEP designs. Second, a Design Collective e-commerce storefront on pinkapple.co.in sells ready-to-shop curated furniture, lighting, wall art, and soft furnishings to SMB and individual buyers.

PinkApple is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external institutional funding. The company employs 11-50 people, operates exclusively from its Bengaluru headquarters and production facility, and maintains distribution through direct enterprise field sales, architect/interior designer partnerships, and its own e-commerce site. Marketing is primarily organic across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, supplemented by earned media placements in India Today, YourStory, and The Enterprise World.
