The Beginning

In 1960 Mr I.M. Kadri established an architecture firm, IMK Architects, with a single assistant architect, one draftsman and an office boy.

Breaking New Ground

Within a short period of time, Mr Kadri was known for his path-breaking commercial, residential and hospitality projects, many of which are considered outstanding examples of structural design today. From Shiv Sagar Estate, one of the oldest business hubs in Mumbai, to the Fort Aguada beach resort by the Taj Group, Mr Kadri used his signature style and keen architectural instinct to create landmark projects across India.

Growing Exponentially

The success of the firm demanded a need for expansion. Consequently in 1971 Mr Kadri established Kadri Consultants Private Limited with its head office in Mumbai followed by branches in Bengaluru and Muscat. Since its inception, the vision of the firm was to create spaces rich in innovation whilst simultaneously respecting the culture and context of the region.

New Ideas

In 1995, the firm announced its second director Mr. Rahul Kadri, son of Mr. I.M Kadri, after he graduated with a Masters degree in Urban Planning from the University of Michigan. The new generation brought a modern appeal and vision to the organization, one that included new technology and a fresh enthusiasm.

Kadris Today

Since 2003, the firm operates as M/s. IMK Architects with partners Mr. I.M Kadri and Mr. Rahul Kadri. A sincere approach that ensures meeting every client’s needs has resulted in great success.

Today, after over 53 years of experience and 85 executed projects across India and overseas, the firm has a host of repeat clients like the Taj Group, JSW, Symbiosis, and Club Mahindra.
