The report also states that the rising consumption of luxury interior designs by businesses and homes across the globe is one of the primary reasons for this market’s growth. Concerning this, the Indian market has also shown growth and is estimated to reach $67.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.81 percent during 2024-2032. However, the primary confusion faced by clients in this sector lies in the fragmentation of design and execution segments. Resultantly, design gets provided by a company and then it is executed by some other entity. The perfection required in the end design also comes into question in this regard.

The Plank from Chennai, India is an emerging one-of-a-kind firm that acts as a one-stop-shop for all interior design requirements. As an unparalleled design consultancy, the company has its manufacturing facility for the execution of their own designs.

Ar. Hema, Founder, of The Plank has immense experience in the interior design sector of 1.5 decades. It is because of her goodwill in the industry that clients have put their trust in the company. “I have been part of this company for the last eight years. As a company, we always try to provide unique and customizable designs to our clients. At the same time, we take care of the client’s budget as well. Our expertise lies in providing the best possible interior design solutions in minimum budgets”, stated Hema.

Implementing Latest Technologies

The manufacturing facility of The Plank is equipped with the latest German technologies. This gives the company an added edge and competitive advantage over the other service providers in this sector. The most advanced technologies combined with Hema’s domain expertise act as a game changer in the execution of flawless designs. Hema is an engineer turned architect and that is a reason for her excellence in the field of interior design. Apart from her passion for creating visually attractive interiors, she also takes care of the execution side of it. She gives the utmost importance to manufacturing the designs through the use of the most advanced technologies and machinery available in the market.

“We also provide virtual designs to clients through which they can experience ideas that can be executed in their spaces. This creates a state of transparency and trust and also helps us deliver the perfect designs”, mentioned Hema.

Training & Development

The Plank employs young and energetic people for work. The idea here is to nurture their talent, provide them with industry experience, and create seasoned professionals out of them. Hema invests considerable time and effort in providing training to young individuals and making them understand the specifics of this industry. Being a one-stop shop, the company can provide training in creating designs as well as the manufacturing and execution of projects. Currently, the firm employs close to 60 people and most of them have joined as freshers. “We aim to achieve company goals through employee growth. Only if an employee’s professional goals are achieved, the company can grow. This is why we believe in nurturing young talent and recruiting them fresh to build the perfect orientation in them about this sector”, stated Hema.

This organizational culture and behavior creates a way for sustainability for the Plank in the interior design industry. The combined effect of employee success is not only impacting the business development of the company positively but also adding value to the interior design industry as a whole.

The Road Ahead

Being based out of Chennai and operational for eight years, The Plank has built a name for itself in the industry and has successfully executed many residential and commercial projects across the city. It has been able to gain the trust of clients through perfection in design and timely delivery and execution of projects. Apart from its manufacturing facility, the company also imports materials to create perfection in design. Hema leaves no stone unturned in overseeing all operations and doing quality checks at every step of the process. “Looking ahead, we want to expand our presence to other cities in India and look towards creating a strong portfolio of luxury interior design projects. We plan on increasing our manpower and go for high-end projects in the coming years”, concluded Hema.
