MEET THE FOUNDERS

Meet the minds and hearts behind our story—founders who turned a shared passion into a purpose, and continue to shape our journey with vision, dedication, and a love for what they do.

I’m Ar. Rakshit Gupta, Co-Founder and Principal Architect of ESA Studio. I believe that architecture goes beyond visual expression—it is about creating meaningful spaces that respond to people, context, and everyday life. For me, good design begins with understanding how a space is lived in, allowing function, emotion, and atmosphere to shape thoughtful and grounded environments.

Every project is a personal journey, driven by passion, purpose, and a deep respect for detail. My approach emphasizes clarity, craftsmanship, and contextual sensitivity, focusing on spaces that feel intuitive, comfortable, and enduring. Through a balance of contemporary thinking and human-centric design, I aim to create architecture that feels authentic and stands the test of time.

Hello, I’m Ar. Riddhimaa Gupta, Co-Founder and Principal Architect at ESA Design Studio. I see design as a way of telling meaningful stories through space—where form, function, and feeling come together to create environments that feel intuitive and human. My approach is rooted in sensitivity to context and an understanding of how spaces are experienced, with the belief that good design should quietly support everyday life while evoking a sense of connection and warmth.

With ESA, our vision is to create spaces that leave a lasting impact not only visually, but emotionally. I’m deeply passionate about building a practice grounded in authenticity, creativity, and purpose—one that values thoughtful exploration, collaboration, and attention to detail. Being part of shaping this vision allows me to contribute to spaces that feel personal and enduring, and to a studio culture that grows with integrity and intent.
