The company was formed in 1991 by Jyotimitr and Sundeep Khushu. They came together in a collaborative effort on a small but interesting project.

This was a small farm house to be built incorporating eco-friendly building technology with unbaked mud blocks made from earth dug out from the site itself. In 1994, Pratibha joined the firm bringing with her the experience of environmental and ecological planning.

With this solid foundation and ideology, they formed Aadharshila Designs Pvt. Ltd. and soon diversified into a spectrum of projects ranging from - corporate buildings and interiors, campus planning, housing and infrastructure.

Today ADPL has 45 people working with it, 27 professionals- architects and engineers and 9 technical staff besides other support staff.

ADPL is committed to sustainable and ecologically sensitive building design and is a member of the Indian Green Building Council.
