My name is Shweta Ahuja, and I am the founder of Shweta Ahuja Interiors, located in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. I come from a small nuclear family with a background in the hosiery business. Despite being the first in my family to venture into architecture and interior design, I always excelled academically and had a passion for creativity.
Growing up, I faced doubts and concerns about my chosen path, but I persevered and honed my skills in drawing and design. I participated in school competitions and undertook projects for my siblings, which boosted my confidence. Eventually, I decided to pursue a career in interior design, driven by my love for art and creating beautiful spaces for people.
In 2013, I graduated from INIFD Institute for Interior & Fashion Design and started my own interior design practice, specializing in Budget Premium interiors. I firmly believe that everyone deserves to experience luxury living, and my goal is to create a paradise through my designs.
Throughout my journey, Gauri Khan, a successful interior designer and entrepreneur, has been my inspiration. I admire her achievements and strive to reach similar heights in my profession.
As an entrepreneur, I faced challenges and learned valuable lessons, including the need to be versatile and knowledgeable in various aspects of the business, such as marketing and managing relationships with contractors and suppliers.
What motivates me the most is seeing the joy and contentment on families’ faces as they live in the spaces I’ve designed. Understanding clients’ needs and psychology is essential to provide exceptional service in this competitive industry.
For aspiring entrepreneurs in this field, I believe offering a comprehensive, tech-enabled, and innovative design solution while prioritizing client satisfaction is crucial for success.
