India’s rich design heritage is deeply rooted in its awe-inspiring architecture and ancient structures. This legacy of creativity continues to thrive, thanks to a new generation of innovative designers who breathe life into modern spaces. One such name that stands out in the world of architectural and interior design is AMPM Designs — a studio that seamlessly blends imagination, artistry, and personality into every project.
Founded by the dynamic husband-wife duo Akash Mehta and Poonam Mehta, AMPM Designs is a testament to the power of collaboration and creative vision. With a shared passion for aesthetics and a commitment to excellence, the duo has carved a niche for themselves in the competitive world of luxury interiors and lighting design.
The Visionaries Behind AMPM Designs
Poonam Mehta
Hailing from Chennai and an alumna of the prestigious University of Arts, London, Poonam Mehta brings an opulent design sensibility and meticulous eye for detail. Her design philosophy is rooted in clean lines, thoughtful spatial planning, and a refined elegance. Having worked with renowned firms like Talati & Pathanky and DSP Design Associates in Mumbai, she honed her craft working on diverse, high-profile projects.
Akash Mehta
With over a decade of experience in lighting design, Akash has worked on some of the most ambitious lighting installations across India. “Good lighting is a gift to any space—it uplifts elements and highlights the essence of design,” he says. Akash’s expertise lies in transforming ordinary spaces into visually immersive environments using the art of illumination.
Together, Poonam and Akash founded AMPM Designs following the successful launch of the Gauri Khan Design store in Mumbai. Their vision was clear: to create bespoke, personality-driven spaces that reflect the unique tastes and aspirations of each client.
The Essence of AMPM Designs
AMPM Designs is synonymous with timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and personalized storytelling through design. In a short span, the firm has established itself as a leading design house, celebrated for delivering tailor-made interiors that go beyond aesthetics — spaces that inspire and resonate.
Poonam believes, “Each home or space should reflect the client’s personality, not just a designer’s signature style. That’s why no two AMPM projects look the same — because no two clients are the same.”
Working closely with clients, the team combines design innovation with practicality, ensuring each space is visually compelling and easy to maintain.
Signature Projects: A Peek into Their Portfolio
Corporate Spaces
AMPM Designs has redefined the modern office, curating workspaces that mirror an organization’s culture and values. Their corporate interiors balance luxury with functionality, creating energizing environments where people feel inspired and valued. Whether it’s the plush interiors of a corporate house or a sustainable yet luxe construction office, each project exudes sophistication and identity.
Retail Experiences
“Your showroom must make the sale before you do,” says Poonam — a philosophy that echoes through every retail project by AMPM. Their retail designs are immersive, atmospheric, and strategically lit to enhance product visibility without stealing the spotlight. From fusing traditional jharokhas with contemporary Ralph Lauren wallpapers to designing futuristic automobile showrooms, AMPM Designs masterfully crafts visual stories that convert browsers into buyers. Akash’s lighting wizardry turns these spaces into experiential destinations.
Luxury Residences
Every AMPM home tells a story — of dreams, lifestyles, and aspirations. The team uses global inspirations, unexpected color palettes, and plush materials to create homes that are grand yet grounded. Statement lighting, custom furniture, bold textures, and eclectic geometry are hallmarks of their residential design. From palatial chandeliers to cozy lounges, AMPM homes radiate comfort wrapped in opulence.
