S5 EP 9 The Decorator’s Dream ft. Pavitra Rajaram

Join me in a conversation with Pavitra Rajaram — Creative Director at Nilaya Anthology, Pavitra Rajaram Design, and Brand Custodian at Sarmaya. In this episode, we talk about building Nilaya Anthology as a space that’s as much about experience as it is about retail. From the Orangery to the restaurants, to the store itself, and the kind of pieces that find their way there. From thoughtful curations to collaborations with names like Sabyasachi, every element carries a story shaped by travel, craft, and a distinct design perspective. We also touch upon her journey and what it takes to create spaces that people can truly engage with.
