“FOAID is a great platform to connect with the fraternity.”
— Akshay Heranjal & Aditi Pai, Co-Founders, Purple Ink Studio
For Akshay Heranjal and Aditi Pai of Purple Ink Studio, VOX Architecture Ideas wasn’t just a competition—it was a catalyst.
Winning back-to-back in 2018 and 2019 didn’t just earn them trophies; it amplified their presence on a national platform, placing them among India’s leading voices in architecture and interior design.
Their journey is a true reflection of what VOX Architecture Ideas—an initiative by FOAID—aims to deliver: visibility, credibility, and community for the next generation of creative thinkers.
A Platform That Fuels Growth
Each year, FOAID (Festival of Architecture & Interior Designing) brings together thousands of architects, interior designers, and brands through exhibitions, conferences, and competitions.
For Purple Ink Studio, participating in VOX AI meant more than just putting their work out there—it meant connecting with mentors, fellow designers, and jury members who shape the future of design in India.
“I would highly recommend you give it a shot!”
— Aditi Pai
And with good reason—because few competitions offer the depth of engagement, the scale, and the prestige that VOX Architecture Ideas does.
