Kshitiz Manu graduated from MREC Jaipur, which is now known as MNIT, and has been practicing
architecture since 2002. At first, he started doing jobs, but then gradually began receiving projects
through relatives and references. He initiated a small office with a friend, and every day he visited
different sites, where he learned from masons. According to him, those who work with their hands
teach the most. He absorbed all the knowledge he could from them. He considered himself an artist,
but he knew that he couldn't paint without knowing his tools. That's why he delved into every aspect
of construction and design, learning through execution. Eventually, he found some great teachers;
indeed, the craftsmen who taught him delicacy and precision. Though he did all the groundwork,
they were the ones who shaped spaces and objects. He learned the science of materials and how
to select them precisely because, without the right materials, good designs cannot be executed.
After ten years of practice, he realized that the entire process was exhausting and unreliable. So, he
started to think about how to simplify it for clients who aspire to realize their dreams. That's when he
began building a team of vendors, contractors, and solution providers who could work together. He
chose those who genuinely wanted to deliver excellence and shoulder responsibilities. Since 2014,
he has been presenting in a manner where he frees his clients from design to execution, leaving
them only with the financial aspect to handle. Now, he has successfully elevated himself in this
practice.
