More about Shivani Sonawane
I am an Entrepreneur, Architect, Event Planner and Experience Designer by profession. I spent most of my childhood and teenage years in Mumbai, after which I moved to Pune in 2013 to pursue Architecture.
I co-founded an experiential property called The Aryavart Escape in 2016 when I was only 21. I have always been keen on curating conscious Experiences, which led me to formally study about Event Management on 2019. I use a combination of my Architecture and Event Management Skills at The aryavart Escape
As an Architect, I co-founded a firm called Studio Akara in 2020 to design projects under the hospitality industry. We are a bunch of young Architects who’re working towards creating an awareness on using natural materials, working with the locals and using primitive methods of construction.
Today, there’s this outburst of energy to do everything that’s on my mind, to run from one property to the other and host these beautiful people, to design spaces I have always imagined, to curate experiences that I’d always wanted to be a part and so much more.
