Ep 47 | The Masterclass in Luxury Design: HBA’s Global Approach to Indian Projects & Infrastructure

This episode was with Mr. Mak and Mr. Binu from HBA two names that have redefined global hospitality and luxury design. They spoke about how HBA was built, how it grew across continents, and what it takes to manage multiple design studios under one vision. What stood out to me was their clarity on how culture, detail, and human emotion play such a crucial role in shaping great design. We discussed the difference between Indian and international clients, the story of how MAK entered real estate, and even an interesting chapter about the Jewish Museum. Their definition of luxury wasn’t about money or material it was about emotion, experience, and identity. The conversation went deeper into topics like why details matter while constructing homes, how to build true luxury in Mumbai, and the importance of designing amenities for every age group. Beyond the design side, they shared their thoughts on the challenges of working in India, the rise of global designers shaping Indian projects, and what the future of Mumbai’s infrastructure could look like. This episode isn’t just about architecture or design it’s about understanding people, culture, and how global design philosophies can beautifully blend with India’s soul.
