Every revolution begins with a single visionary, and in India’s architectural landscape, that visionary is Shridhar Mamidalaa. Born in Hyderabad on January 9, 1988, Shridhar’s journey is a masterclass in how passion, when combined with technology, can challenge the very reality of the world we live in.

From a young age, Shridhar was captivated by art and design, a curiosity that led him to pursue a Bachelor’s in Architecture. However, he soon found himself dissatisfied with traditional methods that focused on reproducing existing forms. Inspired by the idea that “an artist is a rebellion,” he turned to the uncharted territory of computational design to create something truly unprecedented.

A Legacy of Firsts:
World’s First Metal Auxetic Pavilion: A project born from his desire to explore entirely new materials and structural possibilities.
India’s First 3D-Printed Interiors: Setting a new benchmark by demonstrating that high-quality, stylish designs can be sustainably fabricated.
Pioneer of Digital Craftsmanship: Founder of SRI Design Lab, Shridhar has spent over a decade merging sophisticated technology with a profound understanding of form and materiality.Beyond his technical achievements, Shridhar is a dedicated educator and a champion for “Stylish Sustainability”.

By using up to 80% recycled plastics and even industrial waste, he has proven that we can build a future that is environmentally responsible without ever compromising on aesthetic beauty. His life story serves as a powerful reminder: to create the extraordinary, one must be willing to leave the paved path and explore the unexplored.
