Founder, Total Environment
Kamal Sagar
Graduated from IIT Kharagpur in 1992 with a degree in Architecture. After a short stint with Omni Architects at Lexington, Kentucky, in the US, he returned to India and designed the Poonawalla Stud Farms in Pune, and built them out in a span of just 8 months. After working for 4 months with Mistry Architects in Bangalore, he started his architectural practice, first in his own name, and then, in the name of Shibanee & Kamal Architects, along with wife and partner, Shibanee. In 1996, in his search for a one-bedroom apartment, he realized just how bad the state of large-scale housing projects was, and saw tremendous scope to make a difference in this area. After several failed attempts in trying to get developers to accept his design ideas, he decided to take on the task of developing and constructing his projects himself, and not just designing them and founded Total Environment, a construction and real estate development company, which would build out his designs without compromise.
