functional spaces. Through engaging conversations with industry experts, 'Beyond 

Blueprints' aims to empower every Indian to see their thoughts take shape in their 

home’s interior design. This podcast is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the 

world of interior design."

On the necessity of such a podcast series, Mr. Chitlangia added, “With rising affluence, 

and the trend of larger homes, more Indians are now wanting to go that extra mile to 

engage an architect and interior designer. As an innovation driven customer centric 

Company, we have been providing solutions that we feel is the need of the masses. 

‘Beyond Blueprint’ was conceived to address this need to gain insight into the creative 

minds that shapes home design.”

‘Beyond Blueprints’ offers a unique opportunity for homeowners to delve into the world 

of architects and designers, gaining a deeper understanding of the thought processes 

and ideas that go into creating stunning living spaces.

An interior designer or an architect is also a human being and he/ she also goes through 

the same pulls and pressures of life. This journey gives birth to innovative ideas and 

solutions, that is a fusion of aesthetics and functionality, beauty and affordability, and 

grandiose looks and efficient space management. 

Duroply invites homeowners, design enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the world of
