Inspiring workspace design leader on hyper-fast office delivery, translating corporate identities into beautiful interiors, and agile workflows.
In this exclusive executive dialogue, Ar. Pankaj Lad welcomes Arpi Thakker, one of the industry's most inspiring women leaders in corporate workspace interiors, to share her secrets on hyper-fast workspace delivery.
Arpi Thakker is a prominent leader in the corporate interiors space. She believes in “walking the extra mile” for her clients by delivering highly customized, client-centric, and exceptionally functional workplace environments under demanding quick-turnaround timelines.
In the interior design and workspace industry, timelines are often incredibly compressed. Companies need to hit their launch dates, and every day of delay is a day of lost productivity. For me, walking the extra mile means managing the design-and-build process with complete transparency so clients feel supported at every single stage of the transition.
Workspaces should tell a physical story of a brand's philosophy and aspirations. It is not just about selecting colors; it is about building responsive layouts, acoustic layouts, and physical zones that enable focus, collaboration, and relaxation.
Keeping teams motivated under pressure requires deep empathy and a positive, exciting daily environment. When team members feel respected and rewarded, they bring their absolute best creativity to the table.
