Meet Ridhima,

Founder & Creative Director for Danza Del Design
A multidisciplinary designer, hotel developer and business woman.

Born in Mumbai (India) she grew up in a multi-generational real estate family where dinner table conversations revolved around new strategies, opportunities and even major setbacks in business.

At a very young age, exposed to sales pitches, site visits and watching her father envision and then build the skyline of New Bombay, not only helped her entrepreneurial appetite but also gave her invaluable insight and first-hand business experience long before she attended business school.

She earned a Bachelors in Banking and Finance from SIES, Mumbai and an MBA from S.P.Jain Institute in Mumbai before attending the London School of Business and Finance for Strategic Business Management and University of Art and Design London for Hotel Design.

At her family’s firm Kamdhenu Realities, she created a remarkable sales and marketing culture over a span of five years, marketing large-scale residential and commercial projects.

In 2013, she moved to Estrela Inc., handling operations and new develop- -ment in their hospitality vertical. She also started moonlighting in design, building out the company’s FnB outlets.

In 2016, she founded Danza Del Design, a design studio and lifestyle brand. Meaning the dance of design, Ridhima and her talented team of architects, designers and craftspeople create multifaceted, couture interiors, advising on every aspect and detail of a project from design concept to cocktails.

Her visualization skills, aesthetically deta- -iled approach to interiors and functional design are further amplified with her ong- -oing exposure as an owner, operator and developer of hospitality, educational and commercial real estate.
Her diverse portfolio of projects includes exclusive commercial properties, private homes, restaurants, cafes, bars and early year schools,among other projects in India, Dubai and across the Middle East.

As hotelier turned designer, I see our hotels as a global network of inspiring, forward-thinking spaces that make a positive impact on their surroundings, connect travelers to local communities of artisans & craftsmanship and enact gentler ways to move in a more creative yet sustainable world.
