“Indian design needs to advance at a faster pace” feels Ketan Sheth

“Indian design needs to advance at a faster pace, to constantly evolve in tune with global demands and expectations. One must define intentions, explore options and eventually create compositions that can take design to a new level. This can result in judgments that create innovations and implement, promote and nurture concepts that can build a foundation of good and deep design.”

‘Interior Designing as a separate specialized design discipline, is a relatively more attractive field in India. Today, Interior design in India has come a long way. It has gained autonomy from Architecture and is not just reduced to decoration and furnishings anymore”. Ketan R Sheth, MD & Principal Designer – Goldmine Project Consultant Pvt. Ltd., equipped with exactly these qualities, has a long list of clients, who are delighted with the outcome of the work done for them by him and his team in the arena of residential, commercial, retail, pharmaceutical, hospitality, banking and educational institution as well as recreational premises.

Established in 1989, Goldmine has a team of top level professionals and experts from the industry, including architects, interior designers, technical consultant and skilled and semi-skilled labourers, equipping them to handle turnkey projects in-house. Among others the team has designed and executed the ‘Largest Standalone Banquet Hall’ in Mumbai with 5 star ambience. Innovation is an ongoing process in Goldmine, which is the outcome of his ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking.  Focus, integrity, transparency, quality commitment, out of the box thinking, encouragement and respect of individual ability and creativity are the core values of Goldmine. Itis among the first ten organizations in the industry to get ISO 9001:2008 certification.

Sheth’s focus on space, light and structure, coupled with his selection of material, helps create captivating and dynamic spaces, which exhibit simplicity of planning and detailing.
