Our founders

Two crafts, one problem we both saw up close.

Studiora and Vibe Interiors come from two people who spent years watching each other work: one running large turnkey interiors on site, the other building software and games. Between us we saw how much of a home’s story is lost in calls, paper and chat threads, and how much of it technology could hold.

Veena Dhekane

Founder · Chief Design Partner
  • Founded Theme Interiors, Kerala
  • 20+ years in practice
  • Turnkey, design to handover

Veena founded Theme Interiors in Kerala and ran it for more than 20 years. The studio did turnkey work: design, joinery and site execution under one roof, from the first drawing to the day the keys were handed over.

Over those years her teams delivered more than 200 homes, villas and workplaces, known for solid wood and teak work and for finishing what was promised. She brings that site experience to every studio on the Vibe panel.

Shruti Dhekane

Founder
  • Founded Theme Innov8
  • Builds software and games
  • Painter and singer

Shruti founded Theme Innov8, which builds software and games. Her work starts with how people actually use a thing, then takes away whatever gets in their way.

She is also a painter and a singer, and brings that eye for colour, rhythm and detail to how Studiora and Vibe Interiors look, sound and feel.

What we watched

Large projects, seen from both sides of the table.

On siteA large project has hundreds of moving parts: carpenters, vendors, payments, site visits and a family waiting for news. Most of it lived in one person’s head and one phone.
With homeownersOwners wanted to know where their home stood, what they had paid and what came next. They got a call when someone found the time.
In softwareGood tools turn that into a plan everyone can see. Games taught us to make the next step obvious and the progress worth checking.

So we built both

One for the studio, one for the home.

Studiora is the studio’s operating system: who to call next, every project’s plan, quotes, payments and the site, on one phone app and the web.

Vibe Interiors is the homeowner’s side: find a studio by its finished work, see your real flat before you spend, and follow your home from empty flat to the day you move in.
