Shilpa Jain Balvally

Shilpa Jain Balvally is the co-founder and principal architect at Studio Osmosis, a design practice rooted in collaboration, empathy, and excellence. After completing her Master’s degree in the U.S., she returned to Mumbai with a strong vision — to create a studio environment where every team member contributes meaningfully to both process and outcome.

With over two decades of experience, Shilpa remains actively involved across all facets of a project — from conceptual development and material detailing to client dialogue and site execution. Her approach balances creativity with pragmatism, ensuring that beauty is not just designed but built to endure.


Curious, meticulous, and deeply committed to mentorship, Shilpa believes in open, collaborative environments that nurture fresh perspectives. Her design sensibility is shaped not only by rigorous professional practice but also by her passion for travel and culture — which continually inspire her to expand the boundaries of space and design.
