For Parushni Aggarwal Gupta, design has always gone beyond the idea of four walls, furniture, or colour palettes. It has always been about people, and how spaces can shape the way they live, feel, and grow.

Beginning her academic journey with an undergraduate degree in Economics, she later pursued her true passion for design at the prestigious Parsons School of Design. Since then, she has carried this belief through every chapter of her journey. As the Founder & Creative Director of Studio CREO, she has introduced India to some of the world’s most iconic design brands — building not just studios, but experiences that empower, inspire, and make people feel at home.

For Parushni, this school is more than a place of learning. It is a legacy named after her grandfather, a continuation of values passed down through generations.

Nestled within Bhartiya City, the school is a living ecosystem where children are nurtured not just as students, but as future leaders. It is here that she draws on her perspective as both a designer and a mother of two, deeply understanding that true education means building curiosity, empathy, resilience, and the courage to dream audaciously.

At the heart of her journey lies a simple belief that learning never ends. Her influence extends far beyond classrooms and design studios. As part of the leadership behind Bhartiya City, one of Bengaluru’s most ambitious integrated townships, Parushni has played a vital role in weaving sustainability, design thinking, and culture into the very fabric of community life.
