0:00 – Introduction: Mona Parekh, Birla Opus, colors the world with ideas  
 

I am Mona Parekh and I color the world with ideas.

0:16 – Early Inspiration: Childhood home sparked art/design passion  
 

When I was in sixth grade, my dad had bought a bungalow. There was some passion or liking for me towards cement and towards art and decor, and my mom had done the entire interiors. I think that was a hit to my background. I wanted to become an architect. I wanted to play with something more colorful. My passion continued to grow more and more.

0:44 – Career Choice: Interior designer, inspired by color and spaces  
 

When I graduated, I knew that I wanted to be an interior designer.

0:55 – Client Connection: Client stories influence designs  
 

Somebody who's painting their house will tell me everything about their characteristics, their personality, and how they use this room. One thing I really love in this job is connecting with people. That makes me more confident and more evolved every day because they help me learn more things about themselves and about what trends are happening in the market.

1:22 – Evening Routine: Paints with her son  
 

I go back home and spend time with my son. That’s a regular activity we do in the evenings. We normally paint. There’s one mandala book and one superhero book we have. Every night before we sleep, he paints his book and I paint mine. That is our me-time, our color time.

1:46 – Work Environment: Positive, collaborative  
 

It’s like working in a company where you have your own friends and colleagues. On a Saturday, Sunday, I think, “Oh, I’m missing my happy place.” People have open ideas and they accept those ideas. Each one of us is curious and wants to uplift each other. That’s something I look up to in ABG.
