What Sanjay Puri Architects does

Sanjay Puri Architects is a Mumbai-headquartered, privately held architecture and interior design firm founded in 1992 by Sanjay Puri and Nina Puri. The practice delivers architectural design services across master planning and township development, residential housing, commercial offices, retail, educational institutions, hospitality, and cultural facilities, alongside interior design services led by co-founder Nina Puri. The firm's design philosophy emphasizes climate-responsive, contextual, and sustainable solutions that produce unique, unrepeated designs tuned to local climate and culture, and it has extended into product design via the Corallite line of sustainable lighting and furniture made from 80% recycled material with near-zero carbon footprint.

The firm operates three revenue streams: professional services fees for architectural design across residential, commercial, hospitality, educational, and cultural projects; professional services fees for interior design across residential, offices, retail, installations, and cultural spaces; and product revenue from the Corallite hardware line. Customer segments are primarily large real estate developers, educational institutions, and hospitality operators, with secondary work for private homeowners and cultural or religious institutions. Pricing is project-based, with engagement typically secured through direct enterprise sales, design competitions, referrals, and award-driven inbound interest rather than standard published rates.

Geographically, the firm maintains a headquarters in Mumbai and is presently designing projects across 51 Indian cities, with international commissions extending to Australia, Spain, Montenegro, UAE, Oman, and Dallas USA. The firm employs approximately 108 people and has accumulated over 475 awards, including 350+ international design awards such as World Architecture Festival, Architizer A+ Awards, WA 100 International Architect of the Year 2024, and 19 consecutive years of recognition on CW Construction World's Top Ten Architects, positioning it as one of India's most awarded and globally ranked independent architecture practices.
