Editor’s note

What an incredible journey these five years have been!

From designing spaces from Chicago to Miami, Denver to Fiji, from boutique clients to global brands, āsaya Design has been blessed with extraordinary partnerships. To every client who trusted us — thank you from our hearts.

These five years began with three core beliefs:

→ To redefine luxury design

→ To be a leader in ethical sourcing

→ To empower the underprivileged through design

Today, we’re honored to share how these values led us to extraordinary partnerships across India’s manufacturing landscape.

Introducing āvval — meaning “premier quality” in Hindi — born from collaborations with master craftspeople and cutting-edge manufacturers. From precision CNC facilities to traditional artisans hand-finishing details, Avval bridges both worlds. For Asaya clients, this means comprehensive solutions combining technological precision with artisanal soul.

For the design community, āvval offers access to India’s complete manufacturing spectrum.

This is luxury evolved — where tradition and technology create tomorrow’s heirlooms.

Celebrating my incredible parents - Mom & Dad

Behind every milestone lies unwavering support, and I’m deeply grateful for my parents’ extraordinary influence on this journey.

My father, K.C. Sahoo, is a retired nuclear scientist who returned to his rural village in India, dedicating himself to philanthropy — from youth development programs and building a cricket stadium to upgrading local schools. His discipline and belief in never giving up have been the foundation of my entrepreneurial spirit.

My mother, Sova Rani Sahoo, taught me tolerance, patience, and traditional values as a homemaker. Despite embracing a traditional role, she always championed my career ambitions and encouraged me to pursue an unconventional path, even when it meant charting unknown territory.

Their continuing support has given me strength to push forward against all odds, enabling āsaya’s growth and now āvval’s birth. This milestone belongs as much to them as to our incredible team and clients.

To all dreamers — surround yourself with people who believe in your vision. The love and faith of those who matter most can transform dreams into reality.
