In a bustling corner of New Delhi’s Naraina Industrial Area, a vibrant creative hub thrives—a space where dreams are built, not just in concept, but brick by brick, detail by detail. This is One Source Studio, the brainchild and passion project of Sidharth Teckchandani, an entrepreneur whose vision has transcended conventional design to touch lives in ways few interior firms can claim.
From Vision to Reality: The Genesis of One Source Studio
Founded in June 2019, One Source Studio was born not merely out of a desire to design spaces, but from a deeper longing—to transform environments and uplift the people within them. For Sidharth, design was never just about aesthetics. It was about psychology, purpose, and emotion. “We don’t just design spaces—we curate them with soul,” he explains.
With over 16 years of industry experience before launching his own venture, Sidharth had seen firsthand the gaps between vision and execution that plagued the design and construction world. He sought to create a firm that could be a “one source” solution for everything—from conceptual design to turnkey delivery—removing friction, delays, and compromises from the process.
Starting with a humble team of four people, One Source Studio quickly grew, driven by Sidharth’s relentless focus on excellence, personal growth, and client-centered outcomes. Today, the firm boasts 25+ professionals, has completed projects across India, and has successfully delivered international projects in three countries—a testament to the scalability of its unique philosophy.
A Philosophy of Transformation
At the heart of One Source Studio’s work lies an unusual but powerful approach: design psychology. “Every space has a psychology,” Sidharth explains. “It holds an energy, a purpose, and a story waiting to be told.” Whether crafting a luxury retail boutique, a premium sweet shop, or a lavish banquet hall, his team doesn’t merely choose colors and furniture; they work to evoke a specific feeling, a unique aura aligned with the space’s function.
The impact of this mindset goes beyond mere visuals. It helps clients connect emotionally with their spaces, enhancing their relationship with their environment—and by extension, their work, customers, and families. “Our client’s lifestyle should inspire everyone who experiences it,” Sidharth says.
This people-first, purpose-driven philosophy has transformed One Source Studio into more than a design company. It has become a platform for change, helping entrepreneurs launch new businesses, communities gather in meaningful ways, and individuals feel uplifted in their daily surroundings.
Creating Success Through Others’ Success
One Source Studio’s work has had a ripple effect on society. By setting up commercial and hospitality spaces for clients across sectors, the firm has indirectly facilitated the creation of thousands of jobs—from retail employees in new shops to staff in hotels and banquet halls. “Every project we complete isn’t just a space—it’s an engine of livelihood for many,” Sidharth proudly states.
He sees his role not only as a designer but as a catalyst for others’ growth. “I wanted to create a business where people could reach their highest potential,” he reflects. This commitment extends inward as well. The culture at One Source Studio is one of continuous personal development, with mentorship and empowerment built into the fabric of the company.
For Sidharth, entrepreneurship is not about competition but creation. “I am here to create, not compete,” he says with conviction. This mindset has earned him respect not just as a businessman, but as a mentor and leader in his field.
Facing Challenges and Growing Through Them
But the path wasn’t without obstacles. Like many entrepreneurs, Sidharth’s professional journey was deeply influenced by personal struggles. Early in his venture, he found that unresolved issues from his personal life began spilling into his work. “I had to change inside out for the greater good,” he admits candidly.
Rather than succumb, he embarked on a journey of intense personal transformation, working with some of the world’s leading mentors, adopting a new belief system, and cultivating a growth mindset. This inner evolution didn’t just heal personal wounds—it reshaped his approach to leadership, business, and life.
“As I shifted my perspective, everything professional began to shift too,” he explains. His renewed clarity allowed him to guide his company through challenges with resilience and optimism, turning every setback into a stepping stone.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact
While design trends come and go, Sidharth sees sustainability not as a trend, but a responsibility. One Source Studio is committed to integrating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient solutions, and sustainable practices in every project. “We owe it to the future generations,” he says.
This ethical stance is woven into the firm’s DNA, aligning with its broader mission of elevating human value through design. It also echoes global philosophies like the G20’s ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’, reinforcing Sidharth’s desire to foster connections beyond borders.
As the company looks to expand globally into markets like Dubai and Punjab in 2025, sustainability will remain a cornerstone of its growth strategy. “We thrive to be the best—as the name says it all, ‘One Source,’” Sidharth affirms.
A Unique Blend of Ethics, Empathy, and Execution
What makes Sidharth stand apart as an entrepreneur? It’s not just his technical expertise or design acumen—it’s his ethics, belief system, and relentless pursuit of self-improvement. “It’s not just anything—it’s everything,” he says when describing how his personality shapes his work.
His belief in collaboration over competition has allowed him to forge strong, meaningful partnerships in an industry often driven by ego and rivalry. His commitment to understanding client psychology ensures that every project reflects the client’s emotional, functional, and aspirational needs.
Whether designing a five-star restaurant or a cozy boutique store, his team approaches each project with the same precision, empathy, and human-centered focus. The result? Spaces that don’t just look beautiful—but feel right.
The Power of a Dream Realized
Reflecting on his journey, Sidharth is clear about what fuels his success: a burning desire, courage, faith, and persistence. These qualities, he believes, are the essentials for anyone embarking on an entrepreneurial path. “Opportunities are everywhere—you just need the right mindset to see them,” he shares.
Among the many projects completed by One Source Studio, it’s hard for Sidharth to choose a favorite. “Every project is close to my heart because every space we create helps someone earn their living, supports families, and builds communities,” he explains. Each finished space, to him, is more than a project—it’s a legacy of empowerment.
Lessons for the Next Generation
As an experienced entrepreneur and designer, Sidharth offers this message to aspiring architects and designers:
“Have a burning desire within you and a positive mindset. Have faith in yourself. Life is a beautiful journey—enjoy it to the fullest. Collaboration over competition is the key to long-term success. Build relationships, understand the psychology of spaces, and always strive for excellence. Nothing can beat hard work.”
It’s a philosophy that not only guides his company but also shapes the many young talents who have found a platform for growth within One Source Studio.
