Hiten Negandhi
G. D. Arch.
Since his early days, Hiten Negandhi has pursued excellence in every aspect of his life. At Architect Hafeez Contractor (AHC), he found the perfect environment to reach for the stars. His career began in 1989 with a challenging project that became one of the firm's most distinguished works—the classical designs for Hiranandani Gardens, Powai. This project honed his skills in detailing and proportions and nurtured a deep love for classical architecture.
Over his three-decade career, Negandhi has adhered to three fundamental mottos: nothing is impossible, the client is paramount, and continual self-education is essential. In the 1990s, as technology began to revolutionize architecture, Negandhi, initially proficient only with hand drawing, stayed after hours to learn new software, ensuring he stayed at the industry's cutting edge.
In his personal life, Negandhi treasures the first three hours of his day as his most creative period. Rising at 4:30 AM, he uses this time to explore new areas, cities, and developments, seeking constant inspiration and education, even on holiday. Hiten Negandhi's story is one of relentless pursuit of excellence, unwavering client dedication, and a perpetual commitment to growth and learning.
