After completing his education from KRVIA, Pratt (M. Arch) and a summer course at AA London, architect Rajiv Parekh returned to his native Mumbai and founded reD, along with his wife, Ekta Parekh. With an aim to create a purpose and process-oriented international benchmark for contemporary architecture and design, he has been the creative force behind some of the most iconic homes and offices in India. Later joined by Apoova Shroff, Maithill Raut and a supporting team of 40, reD now boasts some of the most talented architects and designers in India – affectionately known as “TeamreD”, or, “The reDs”. Rajiv works in concert with each client; a process, he says, that gives him the unique opportunity to create dialogue and research that galvanize distinct concepts and captures key personalized characteristics of reD’s clients.
