“The best part of being an entrepreneur is you can inculcate your own value system in the organization while taking each step towards your ultimate goal.”
Koheli Puri (Founder & MD, StudioXP)

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Follow your passion — and if you don’t know what it is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it.” Unlike many, Koheli Puri, the Founder and Managing Director of StudioXP was convinced about her goals from a very young age. She had always dreamt of owning an empire in the corporate real estate world that was entirely her creation. With ample zeal and dedication towards her target, she started working towards it from a really young age. In order to create her own enterprise in the corporate real estate world, Koheli Puri aligned her educational background in a way that would assist her in achieving this goal. With a Bachelor’s degree in architecture and an M.tech in ‘Building Engineering and Construction management’ from IIT Delhi, she comes with an exceptional educational foundation.

GETTING TO KNOW KOHELI PURI

Koheli Puri is no less than an inspiration. She believes that if the goals are worked for with a needle-sharp focus, nothing is impossible.

Koheli, a dynamic personality, has worked at leadership level in one of the top Multinational Company in her relevant field for over 7 years and has two decade-long experience in the real estate and the construction industry where she has delivered multiple large-scale commercial developments.

In 2011, she began her ultimate entrepreneurial journey by launching StudioXP, a renowned Real Estate Development Management and Design & Build Firm. While launching the company she, as an entrepreneur, was aware that running a business is hard and running a successful business is even harder. Therefore, she developed different stocks of information from various organizations to influence her ability to launch and act on entrepreneurial opportunities. The Skillset & knowledge that she derived from these companies, helped her in creating a brand of paramount importance.

StudioXP has successfully completed 10 years of working with the best of the clients and is growing with them multifariously. Despite a myriad of uncertainties and socio-economic turmoil over the decade, the company has managed to consistently grow multi-fold due to an unstoppable and passionate team.

ENTREPRENEURIAL WORLD IN THE EYES OF KOHELI

When it comes to running a burgeoning business, the right mindset and persistent values are as pivotal as earning profits. For Koheli, the best part about being an entrepreneur is to be able to inculcate her own value system in all levels of the organization.

She has set trailblazing goals for her company and working with a team that is in alignment with her vision helps her work towards the goals bit by bit each day.

Koheli is emerging as a visionary and takes immense pride in embracing and building her own business empire, StudioXP. Facing the successes and failures of her company has made her a resilient, strong-willed, and determined entrepreneur who has seen all the ups and downs during the journey.

KOHELI’S LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY

“In my opinion, a good leader should emerge as a good human being first with qualities like Empathy, Resilience, Decisiveness, Clarity in thought process and Strategic thinking. They should have the prowess to emerge as a visionary,” Koheli remarked.

While taking business decisions, Koheli always takes into consideration three requisite aspects: Humanity, Integrity, and righteousness. She also believes that it is imperative to know the competitors, their value-added services & innovative approach, which helps one to take a strategic decision towards business expansion, development, and growth.

WHAT MAKES STUDIOXP STAND OUT?

Koheli devises and implements well thought out strategies to set her company’s services apart from similar-sized players in the market. The exceptional services and prime verticals of the company are the company’s USP. StudioXP is the only company where the Owners and Directors hail from the same background in their respective verticals. There are very few companies in the market that have Architectural design and Construction/Construction management as their prime verticals providing individual services as market leaders. That is one of the reasons, the company is able to provide clients with well-informed quality services and end-to-end solutions. The company believes in ‘word of honour’ which is quite rare in the Real Estate industry.

“Integrity, accountability to quality services, a commitment to timely delivery, and trust & transparency in relationships across all levels from clients to the entire team at StudioXP are our core values. These values are the essence of our identity,” Koheli asserted.

HURDLES FACED BY THE COMPANY

No matter what struggles an entrepreneur goes through, they should not deviate from the focus necessary to keep an unwavering eye on the end goal. Koheli is one such personality. She strongly believes that hurdles stimulate growth and navigating one’s way amidst challenges and hurdles builds resilience. She always stays focused and never gives up. Having ventured into a stream that had a number of tough established competitors, it was her educational background, ethical policies, the experience of working at leadership levels in reputed companies, commitment, professionalism, accountability & a ‘never say never’ attitude that has helped in building client’s trust and taking the company to the next level.
