Archea Reviews 

Learning with this program by Archea has been a truly transformative experience for my interior and architecture practice. When I started, I had clarity in design but lacked direction in scaling the business and that’s exactly where their program made a difference.

Led by Utsav, with my journey closely guided by Sanjana, the mentorship felt both structured and deeply personalized. Being architects themselves, they understand the nuances of our field, not just creatively, but commercially as well. Their insights were practical, relevant, and immediately applicable.

The 4-month program was thoughtfully designed, combining detailed training sessions with interactive one-on-one Q&A discussions. What stood out the most was their ability to break down complex business strategies into clear, actionable steps tailored to my stage of growth.

Sanjana, in particular, was incredibly supportive throughout. Always approachable, patient, and genuinely invested in my progress. I owe my growth as a person and professional in this journey a lot to her! Utsav’s leadership and vision gave the entire program a strong foundation and direction.

If you’re an architect or interior designer looking to elevate your practice and move to the next level with clarity and confidence, this program is absolutely worth it.
Thankyou again, it was an incredible experience.

The SYDB course has been a truly transformative experience in scaling and growing my design business to the next level. Before joining, my role was largely limited to creating designs and taking client approvals. This course shifted my mindset completely—it taught me how to take the lead, give approvals with confidence, and most importantly, how to work on the business rather than in the business.
A special mention goes to my personal mentor, Sanjana, who supported me at every step of the journey. She was always just a WhatsApp message away, patiently guiding me through the training sessions conducted by Utsav, and addressing my questions repeatedly whenever I needed clarity. Her support went far beyond the course syllabus—she also helped me navigate personal challenges I was facing, which played a crucial role in implementing the learnings effectively and moving forward with confidence.
The weekly structure that Utsav had set—training sessions followed by dedicated Q&A sessions—was extremely impactful. It helped clear doubts, realign perspectives, and encouraged us to look at our design practice not just as designers, but as business owners and practicing architects. The entire journey was insightful and led to a significant shift in how I view and manage my business.
One of the most unexpected yet rewarding outcomes was my experience with social media content creation. I never imagined myself creating content consistently, but with constant encouragement from both Sanjana and Utsav, I started not only creating but also posting regularly. What I thought would take weeks, I achieved within days—I created and posted three reels in a single week, which received a very positive response as a beginner. This boosted my confidence immensely and helped me value my work even more.
Utsav delivered every training session to her fullest potential by connecting concepts with her real-life experiences, making the learning deeply relatable. At the same time, Sanjana ensured we practiced everything practically, which elevated my confidence while communicating with clients, building rapport, handling discussions from the initial stages through execution, and managing multiple aspects of the business.
Overall, this journey has significantly strengthened my confidence and equipped me to handle different areas of my design business with clarity and leadership. I am truly grateful for this experience and the growth it has brought into my professional and personal life.

Mentorship program is really great and it is helping since there are lot of things that needs to be taken care while doing this business. It actually helped us creating proper company SOP's and giving importance to improving and taking care of smaller things as well. We are able to look over proper work delegations between partners and then are able to take better decisions with clarity.
But problem is that just after course starts we were not prepared what's going to come and were not ready. Cooling period was very less which caused things getting piling up. There should be enough time to implement this things. Suggestion is course time period should increase.
Apart from that everything is great.

Learning with Utsav (Founder of Archea) and Sanjana (my Business Coach) has been a complete game-changer for my architectural consultancy business.

Utsav, as the founder of Archea, brought immense clarity to how I run and position my practice. She helped me understand how to pitch with structure and confidence, approach premium clients, clearly define roles within the firm (architect, junior, senior, OM), and—most importantly—how to charge correctly. She taught me how to train clients to view costing as an investment, where to draw firm boundaries, and how to project myself as a premium consultant. Her guidance helped me break deep-rooted mental blocks and completely elevate my presentations and client conversations.

Sanjana, my business coach, worked very closely with me through focused 1-on-1 sessions and was incredibly hands-on and super available throughout the journey. She helped me refine my hiring techniques, structure pay scales, handle inefficiencies within the company, manage my time better, delegate effectively, and drive execution without burnout.

What I deeply appreciated about both of them is their no-nonsense approach. They would call the bullshit straight to my face—and that honesty helped me learn faster, course-correct immediately, and grow with clarity.

In just 2 months, this mentorship helped me move from charging ₹2 lakhs to confidently signing a deal at ₹6.5 lakhs. They also played a key role in kick-starting my social media—right from positioning and content direction to running ads effectively.

This has genuinely been one of the best investments I’ve made to scale my business. Extremely valuable, deeply empowering, and something I’m truly grateful for.

Wishing Team Archea and all the designers signing up an amazing abundant career ahead!

Lots of love,

I recently completed a 4-month mentorship program with Archea, and it was a truly insightful experience for my interior design business. The program was very well-structured, covering everything from client interaction and onboarding to positioning as an interior designer, defining key job roles within the organization, and effectively using social media for business growth.

The sessions were highly practical and actionable, helping me implement real changes at my studio. My assigned mentor was extremely supportive and encouraging, guiding me patiently to take one step at a time. Utsav’s weekly mentorship sessions and Q&A discussions added immense value — she shared her knowledge generously and ensured every participant gained clarity and direction.

I would highly recommend this mentorship to any interior designer looking to build stronger systems, refine their brand positioning, and grow with purpose through expert guidance.

My experience with Archea under the mentorship of Utsav Kamboj has been genuinely transformative for my studio. Before joining, I had the passion and the intent, but I lacked a clear, scalable system. What Archea has helped me build is not just knowledge, but a complete business framework that works in real life.

From setting up a structured lead flow to conducting discovery calls, client meetings, onboarding systems, and follow-ups, every stage of my business now runs with clarity and confidence. Utsav’s frameworks are extremely practical and execution focused, and her guidance on social media and sales has helped me look at growth in a much more strategic way.

During my journey, I was guided by Yashika and Vedika, and both have played a monumental role in helping me streamline processes, improve lead quality, and convert clients with far more confidence and consistency. The weekly review calls ensure that I was never left guessing. There is constant direction, accountability, and real problem-solving based on where you actually are in my business. On top of that, the mentor support has been invaluable.

I am genuinely grateful to Utsav, Yashika, and Vedika for the commitment, time, and energy they have invested in my journey. I would highly recommend Archea to any interior designer or studio who is serious about building a structured, scalable, and confident business.

It has turned out to be a much longer association than I got in for initially. The dedication and commitment of Utsav and her team of Architect mentors, has to be experienced to be believed. They take great trouble to understand the journey and pain points of each entrepreneur and then go on to provide guidance, support, proactive listening and everything that involves being a very connected and result oriented mentor. I feel heard, my problems understood and what's amazing is that the connect is not functional or coldly professional only but also warm and sensitive. With their mentorship program I find myself taking sure and steady steps towards my goal, can see measurable difference and what's more even expanding into multiple verticals. Thank you Utsav, Vedika and Sanjana for being my turn around coaches , accountability partners and for not giving up on me.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to scale up their business, streamline processes and operations, and needing a mentor to show the way forward through highly customized, personalized mentorship.

I had an un believable good experience from this Upscaling course from Archea. The very first thing i learnt that where i was going wrong in my work and handling clients specially. Utsav with her foresightedness have taught me the most pratical way of client pitching, project management and office work culture. She and Sanjana helped me in knowing client physiology. They have shown me where i stand and what will i be in my coming days. But let me admit, i have already started experiencing growth in myself and in my business. even my team is always motivated now. Clients have started taking me seriously and now i don't hesitate asking for payments. My Income and cliental have increased in numbers. I am more energetic and i believe that i will achieve greater things in life. I have learnt posting on Instagram and have started being more social. I have at last created my profile and all my work is organized and complied. All thanks to Utsav and Sanjana, now they are helping me to create a good office team. There are a lot of things to say, but i have limited words.

First of all, I would like to thank Utsav for creating this program to support young architects like us who are looking for a helping hand to walk us through the process — right from getting leads, converting them, and running projects in a structured way. The weekly calls have been a big boost, helping me share updates, clear doubts, and keep growing step by step. Honestly, it’s been a boon for me to work with Utsav and Sanjana — they’ve stood by me when I had challenges with clients and taught me how to handle those situations better. Looking back at the milestones we’ve already achieved, I feel grateful, and I know there’s much more to come.

Grateful to Utsav for creating this program.
Being a practicing architect often feels like you’re in a pond, frantically flipping your hands in all directions—juggling design, execution, client expectations, and the overwhelming workload. Most of us focus so much on design that we forget to pause and look at how we’re functioning behind the scenes. We forget we are running a business as well. That’s exactly where this mentorship program comes in—and honestly, it has been an eye-opener for me.

The program doesn’t just talk about surface-level growth. It dives deep—really deep—into the internal processes, patterns, and systems that shape the way we work. It gives you a clear direction, a structured roadmap to navigate your journey as an architect more intentionally and effectively. What’s incredible is how it pinpoints even the minute, often ignored details, and helps you realign them in a way that creates a domino effect of positive change.

For me, it’s felt less like a course and more like therapy. With honesty and self-reflection as the foundation, I uncovered issues I had accepted as “just how things are,” only to realize they were solvable through deep analysis and perspective shifts. The program made me realize that success isn’t just about doing more—it’s about doing it right.

If you’re feeling stuck, scattered, or simply curious about how to elevate your practice from the inside out, I can’t recommend this enough. It’s transformational.

P.s. Sanjana is just amazing, she is my business coach, i call her my therapist.
She understands, listens and caters to every single sentence that you put across.
I never felt like she has other clients also, i felt like genuinely she is working along with me , directing and walking with me along the process. I just look forward to talking to her and that gives the momentum for the rest of the week. I am just grateful.

A Mentor with Exceptional Organizational Skills
I have been receiving timely and insightful guidance from Ms. Vedika Sikka Gupta, which has been instrumental in scaling up my business. Her strategic approach and well-structured plans of action have helped me confidently approach clients and successfully win projects with ease. Her mentorship combines clarity, precision, and a genuine willingness to support, making her a valuable guide in my entrepreneurial journey.

I began my design journey managing everything on my own—planning and executing every process myself, even with a team of four around me. My unorganised approach led to everyday challenges that slowed down growth.

Joining this training program has been a game-changer. It’s helped me shift my mindset and bring structure to every aspect of my business. With Utsav’s insightful weekly live sessions and Sanjana’s consistent support over the past few months, I’ve been able to streamline my operations and close clients more efficiently and confidently.

It has been a great experience in guidance with archea so far. Utsav’s live sessions and Vedika’s guidance in person has really helped me to gain confidence after restarting from scratch after my masters. I did not have any idea on how important a conversation can be in bringing clients in. The confidence and tricks to pitch to a client have helped me actually lock in a high ticket client last week. Looking forward to more clients, growth and lots of informative sessions with vedika and utsav.

The Architectural Business Development course was incredibly valuable. It gave me clear, practical strategies that I’ve already implemented with great results—better clients, smoother operations, and more confidence in my offerings. A must for every design professional!

I recently joined an interior bussiness course by archea, and it was an amazing experience! It really boosted my confidence as a designer. Thank you Utsav ma'am for sharing such valuable insights, and special thanks to Yashica ma'am for the helpful 1on1 session. Highly recommend it to anyone starting out in interior design!

Experience was good. Helped us on how to set systems in check so you can delegate certain tasks and focus on scaling up.

Being new in the professional field, I was struggling with managing projects, clients and my time. Sanjana from the Archea team really pushed me personally to deal with all the administrative problems and helped me make further goals for my practice!

A huge shoutout to Utsav Kamboj and Sanjana from Archea!

Their mentorship over the past 6 months has been invaluable to Studio nnād. From guiding us through our very first discovery calls to helping us understand how to effectively convert leads into clients, they’ve played a key role in shaping our journey.

Thanks to their patient and insightful guidance, we’ve learned how to choose our clients more intentionally, and our design process has become significantly smoother as a result.

We’re deeply grateful for the time, effort, and faith they’ve invested in us. Thank you, Utsav and Sanjana, for walking this journey with us and helping us grow.

Best,

My experience was like a 60-40 60%good. As I as I have not worked with any other company before, so this helped me how to talk to Client. How to handle the objections from them. Sanjana. I’d help me a lot regarding this. I could understand how to do the hiring of the people, what are the SOP that needs to be there while hiring, but I don’t know. I spoke to Sanjana on my last call regarding land a good client or a bigger client, it dnt help me with that. I will try working on that as we had spoken today on the call, but overall it was good. Few learnings were great which I had not learnt before, and I thank you for making me understand and doing things which I couldn’t do before. Thank you.
