CreativeMornings Mumbai with Parul & Mooshir Vahanvati, Rayden
Parul Vahanvati
Born in Indore, India. Spoiled rotten as an only child, she came to her senses when she left home to pursue her studies. She holds a Masters degree in industrial design, although her second choice as a profession (after an undergraduate stint with architecture), it suits her to work on a smaller scale. Has always worked for small firms in Mumbai and New York, as she says, big corporate environments give her the “yikes”. Passionate about what she does, she believes in Rayden’s way of thinking to make design a way of life.
To her travelling is not an excuse but a means of learning and gathering experiences. In her words – “I have been blessed with umpteen experiences good and bad, all of which have taught me something.” Watching people interests her and she is certain they are key in solving most problems around us. She loves laughter and is adamant that it helps her stay healthier. Strongly believes that no idea is complete until put to action. She is married to her best friend and is a mother of an adorable little son. She keeps the studio clean!
Mooshir Vahanvati
Despite cosmic efforts to push him towards the medical profession, Mooshir started his educational journey as an Engineer only to end up as an artist. In between this transition he realised his love for Design as well as all things creative.
Which goes on to say that he has a Bachelors in Computer Engineering, a Masters in Visual Communication and a Masters from ITP, NYU. He is an Inlaks scholar and his works have been displayed across many galleries in New York, Barcelona and Ireland. He is also passionate about teaching and contributes to the Interaction design course at IDC, IIT Bombay.
Mooshir can cut silence with his hmmms, yet he is the rock that holds Rayden firmly. To him there is nothing that cannot be done, every deadline is achievable and time holds its breath when he works. He is fond of listening to music and making everyone else listen to it, which unfortunately doesn’t make him the most liked person, especially on scores of Italian opera.
