THE FIRM

He held a Bachelor's in Civil Engineering and a Postgraduate diploma in architecture from the UK. He designed a number of residences and commercial establishments including firayalal's in early 1960's, Then one of the biggest shopping centres of asia.

They were briefly joined in late 2000'S by their daughter Raashi, who now runs her own firm with her husband Saurabh in Indore, "CHOPRA DESIGN STUDIO."
