India House Art Gallery India House Art Gallery, Pune, is a contemporary cultural space dedicated to exceptional art and artistic expression.

It brings together distinguished artists, diverse perspectives, and meaningful dialogue, connecting local and international audiences. India House has long stood at the intersection of culture, creativity, and intellectual exchange in Pune, a city shaped by a rich history and an evolving contemporary spirit.

Across painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and other forms of creative expression, the gallery seeks works that are distinctive, thoughtfully crafted, and able to engage audiences beyond geographical and cultural boundaries. Free from allegiance to any single aesthetic movement or artistic philosophy, the gallery embraces diversity in practice and perspective. Its program seeks to connect Pune and audiences across India with artists of international caliber whose work challenges convention, expands perception, and contributes meaningfully to the evolving global conversation around art and culture. Throughout the year, India House Art Gallery presents a curated program of exhibitions, complemented by artist conversations, lectures, discussions, and cultural gatherings. These programs are intended not merely to display art, but to create opportunities for encounter, reflection, and exchange. India House Art Gallery is a space for art, ideas, and peopleβ€”a contemporary cultural address where creativity can flourish.

Feeind I am sharing a vedio from yesterday when I was invited as the Chief Guest at the 3rd Annual Convocation of the College of Architecture, Vivekananda Educational Society (), Chembur, Mumbai, where I conferred degree certificates upon the graduating class of 2025–2026. Please see this 12 min vedio where I talk about powerful reflections from the life of Prof. Christopher Benninger, encouraging students to discover a deeper purpose in their professional journeys.
I spoke to the graduates about the importance of continuously developing skills, expanding knowledge, and nurturing tolerance in both professional and personal spheres. I also encouraged them to remain inclusive in their outlook, to respect diversity, and to always remember that we are all born equal.

My dear Freind, I am excited to share that our firm CCBA Designs received the Restoration Project of the Year award for the Forbes Marshall New Corporate Office, Pune, at the Aces of Space Design Awards 2025, held in Mumbai on 12 December 2025. The award was received along with me by our CCBA Studio Director Ar. Daraius Choksi, and project architect Ar. Yogesh Jatkar.
The project exemplifies adaptive reuse, transforming an old industrial complex into a sustainable, innovative corporate headquarters, reminding us that neglected spaces can be reimagined into icons of resilience and intelligent design.

The Forbes Marshall New Corporate Office in Kasarwadi Pune is a call to rethinking the future of our built environments through adaptive reuse. An old industrial complex is repurposed as a new corporate headquarters, with selective interventions that exemplify how adaptive reuse can offer solutions that are both sustainable and innovative. Strategies include:

1.Radiant cooling integrated into the flooring system reduces the need for traditional air conditioning, while low-volume fans and evaporative cooling further cut energy consumption. Remarkably, while a typical system might require 50-60 tons of cooling, we have managed to achieve optimal conditions using just 18-20 tons.

2.Water management through the iconic umbrella roofs that collect rainwater while providing shade to the courtyard below.

3.Steel jacketing and bracket installations ensured the building’s structural integrity and enhanced safety for its occupants.

4.Treating the South facade with fins that block the sun and give a unifying character to the building.

5.North lights that allow natural light to flood the interiors.

By breathing new life into an ageing structure, we have not only preserved a piece of history but also forged a path for the future. This project is a reminder for us architects that even the most neglected spaces can be transformed into icons of resilience and intelligent design.
