National | January 8, 2026: Project Studio, an AI‑native platform for managing interior design and fit‑out projects, has raised an undisclosed funding round led by Modulor Capital, with participation from We Founder Circle, EvolveX, and Thapar Innovate. The round was advised by capitalCORN.
The company will use the capital to enhance AI capabilities, strengthen its presence in India, and support expansion into international markets, building a scalable operating layer for the global interior design ecosystem while empowering studios to remain independent and competitive.
Founded by Nikhil Kaushik and Abhishek Jha, Project Studio is building an end‑to‑end operating system for independent interior design studios to manage project execution, coordination, sourcing, and payments using AI.
The platform addresses execution delays and margin leakages caused by fragmented tools, manual workflows, and lack of real‑time visibility. By placing AI at the core of project execution, Project Studio enables studios to streamline coordination, improve predictability, and strengthen profitability.
Nikhil Kaushik, Co‑Founder, Project Studio, said: “Interior projects don’t fail because of design; they fail because of coordination. Our focus is to make project execution predictable, transparent, and profitable for studios in India and globally.”
Vineet Neeraj, CEO & Founder, capitalCORN, added: “Project Studio is solving a core execution challenge in the interior design ecosystem by using AI to bring predictability and transparency to complex projects while empowering independent studios. With strong adoption in India and early traction in the UAE, the company is well positioned to scale globally.”
Bhavish Sood, GP, Modulor Capital, noted: “What convinced us was not just the product vision, but how deeply Project Studio is used in day‑to‑day execution. In workflow‑heavy markets like interior design, owning execution creates real defensibility, and that’s exactly where the team is starting.”
