Roshni Kshirsagar

Roshni Kshirsagar is a partner at SJK Architects along with Shimul Javeri Kadri, Sarika Shetty and Vaishali Mangalvedhekar. 

Founded in 1990, SJK Architects is a Mumbai-based collective of 30+ built environment professionals, working with clients and collaborators all across the country. They design spaces that are meticulously crafted from a study of climate, culture, history, and technology ‚Äì each unique to the place and its people. Roshni's journey at SJK Architects began in 2007 after an internship with Samira Rathod, where she built her foundation in detail-oriented design. From her first project at SJK Architects, a small dining area in the heritage precinct of Mumbai, to leading interior design for the latest Penguin Random House office, she has worked through several prototypes and scales of projects. More recently, for the Hotel in Bodh Gaya and the Retail Store for Forest of Chintz, Roshni let cultural histories guide the core design principles while allowing honest thought processes, materials and craftsmanship to shine. 

Roshni is conscious of the relationship between interior design and architecture, and strives to find a seamless connection between the two. She aspires to refine her practice through research, innovation, cultural context, and local techniques that have stood the test of time, along with modern technologies to build spaces that enrich human experiences and relationships with their surroundings. 

For her contributions to architecture and design, Roshni was selected amongst India's Top 30 Under 45 design disruptors by Forbes magazine in 2023. Roshni has also taught a course on 'Design Approaches' to senior year architecture students at Rachana Sansad, Mumbai. 

She loves working around the kitchen, experimenting and adapting heirloom recipes that have inspired her family's cooking style.
