About
Us
Our team is the complete package – we know what we do, we excel at what we do. An easy flow of ideas, an all-encompassing attitude and innate design intelligence all add up, quite simply, to design excellence.
Core Values
The firm believes in an integrated approach to design by challenging conventional beliefs of aesthetics and planning. It engages with a multiplicity of interdisciplinary issues concerning cost efficient and effective solutions which have the characteristic hallmark of good design. We pride ourselves in having stayed away from a ‘signature style’; instead each of our projects responds differently depending on the contextual and programme requirements.
We pride ourselves in our attitude, our innovation and our enthusiastic approach to each project. We remain a team motivated enough to treat each new project with the same energy and excitement that has inspired us to continually update the skills we have specialized in. We have provided highly specialized services and yet have escaped being stereotyped.
With the experience of working in challenging urban environments with international consultants in complex urban projects involving multiple stakeholders, RJB-CPL is fully equipped to tackle and solve multi-faceted projects – especially in Mumbai. Having said that, our portfolio of work includes projects all over India and we have come to be renowned in the design and execution of large scale urban infrastructure projects. The firm’s origin as a multi-disciplinary design practice still holds today with a wide range of expertise in architecture, interior design, urban design and planning, project & construction management, retail & exhibition design, graphic and signage design, communication design, and many more.

About the Founder
RATAN J. BATLIBOI, the principal architect of RJB-CPL, is the spearhead of the innovative and progressive firm.

Our Partnerships
Partnerships are what make us stronger and we are fortunate to have partnered with like-minded individuals and organisations that travel with us on this journey of design discovery. We would like to think that our partners are truly equal stakeholders - questioning us, provoking us, nudging us out of our comfort zone, while also having our back all along the way. These partnerships have enabled us to grow beyond our core expertise, build a truly multi-disciplinary brand name and face head-on whatever curveballs industry, economy or circumstance has thrown at us.

Our Collaborators
One of the cornerstones of our practice is collaboration, and we believe in its cumulative impact. Across typologies, we have formed strong associations with various design practices, agencies and creative minds over the years, sometimes for a particular project, sometimes for the long term. We are not afraid to reach out to the larger design fraternity when we need to; as Ken Blanchard wisely said "None of us is as smart as all of us."
