People

At KA, we are not just a collective talent of employees, we’re a family.

Ethos

Ethos

Our paramount concern is to understand the client’s objective and orchestrate a larger idea that takes place within a specific program and context. Listening to and interacting with our clients is an integral part of our design process.

Working amid a multitude of needs and constraints, we have constantly evolved. We have felt the need to be agile, ubiquitous, and networked. As a practice we have never felt the need for a personal or stylistic signature for our projects. For us the act of weighing diverse factors and interpreting them through a personal filter enhances the design process and allows us to arrive at a project specific solution.

Leadership &
Structure

At KA we don’t follow leaders, we create them. Most of our leadership team is home grown. As we have grown, they have risen as leaders and professionals. They drive our philosophy and set the examples that we aspire for as an organization and as individuals. We are committed to a nurturing work atmosphere and our leadership team is the key component in this endeavor.

Our teams bring together creative minds in a culture of collaboration, innovation & excellence.
