What Kove Design Studio does

Kove Design Studio (KOVE), founded in 2012 and headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, is an Indian architectural, interior, and experiential design firm that delivers integrated design-to-build services across signature residences, commercial real estate, airports, educational institutions, hospitality, healthcare, government, and cultural infrastructure. The company's core offering bundles architecture, interior architecture, spatial experience design, experiential lighting, AV/acoustic design, and projection mapping under a single contract—a one-stop-shop model positioned to eliminate coordination complexity inherent in multi-vendor design engagements. With 6 employees and 12+ years of operating history, KOVE reports 45 completed commissions, 100,000 sq ft currently under construction, and a 78% repeat patronage rate.

The firm's technical differentiation is anchored in a proprietary "Spatial Experience Design" methodology branded as "Interiority," combined with capability in record-scale optical fiber lighting installations—the Infinity Tunnel executed for Jindal Group features over 200,000 light points—and expertise in facade illumination, museum/exhibition spatial design, and AV/acoustics engineering. Co-founders Kavinaz Arora (Managing Director & Founder, trained in India and Germany) and Pranav Arora (Principal Designer & Consultant, NYU-trained lighting/AV specialist) provide cross-disciplinary leadership, with Pranav also founding Kaiser Experiential Lighting and Kaiser AV & Acoustics, allied entities that supply specialized optical fiber and AV capabilities to KOVE projects under a strategic partnership framework established in 2023.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based professional services—design fees, execution/construction fees, and consultancy—across enterprise, government, and high-net-worth individual clients. The go-to-market is direct engagement, supported by portfolio-driven referrals rather than indirect channels. Named clients include Adani Airports (multi-location engagements across Ahmedabad, Lucknow, and Guwahati), Omaxe, Ashoka University, Jindal Group, Honda, Sharda Health City Hospital, Assam Tourism, Heritage Transport Museum, Rina Dhaka Couture, and the Aam Aadmi Party. Operations span Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Assam, and Rajasthan. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed.
