In the heart of Hyderabad, where tradition meets innovation, stands Kotcharla Design & Infra (KDI)—a name synonymous with architectural excellence. But behind this industry leader lies an extraordinary journey spanning three generations, driven by passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of design perfection.

The Roots of an Empire (1960s): A Visionary’s First Step

The story begins in the early 1960s when Kotcharlakota Sri Hari Rao, a visionary from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, arrived in Hyderabad with a dream. In an era when modern interiors were a distant thought, he became one of the first to introduce Venetian blinds to the city, pioneering a niche that would shape the future of interior design in the region. What started as a humble blinds business soon became the foundation for something much bigger.

The Second Generation: Expanding Boundaries (1995)

In 1995, Kotcharlakota Karunya Kumar, inspired by his father’s entrepreneurial spirit, took the next leap forward. Learning from the ground up, he expanded beyond blinds and ventured into interior design and decoration, bringing a new dimension to the family business. His expertise in residential and commercial interiors quickly earned him a reputation for quality and innovation.

But it wasn’t just business—it was passion. With an insatiable curiosity and a keen eye for functionality, Karunya Kumar discovered his true calling in medical architecture. Recognizing the growing need for efficiently designed hospitals and healthcare facilities, he spent years mastering the intricacies of medical infrastructure. Over two decades, his dedication led him to become one of the few expert architects in the field, with an astounding portfolio of 300+ hospitals across Andhra Pradesh and beyond.

The Third Generation: A New Era of Expansion

With decades of expertise behind it, KDI was no longer just a company—it was a legacy. And as legacies evolve, so do their horizons. Enter Kotcharlakota Sai Siddarth Kashyap, the third-generation torchbearer, bringing fresh energy and an ambitious vision. While the previous generations had conquered residential, commercial, and medical architecture, he widened the horizon by introducing sports infrastructure into KDI’s portfolio. From multi-sport facilities to clubhouses, from stadiums to fitness centers, KDI is now setting benchmarks in sports architecture, complementing its already formidable reputation in hospital and residential designs.

KDI Today: Pioneers of Excellence in Architecture

With three generations of expertise, innovation, and an unshakable commitment to excellence, Kotcharla Design & Infra stands tall as one of the leading pioneers in the field of architecture. Today, the firm is established in three major domains—Medical, Sports, and Residential & Commercial Architecture—delivering designs that are not only functional but transformative. From hospitals that heal to stadiums that inspire, from homes that comfort to offices that drive success, KDI continues to redefine spaces with precision, creativity, and an enduring passion for design.

The Journey Continues…

What started as a simple blinds business in 1960 has now evolved into an architectural powerhouse. And as the legacy of KDI moves forward, it carries with it the same values that built its foundation—innovation, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to shaping the future of design. Because at KDI, architecture isn’t just about building spaces—it’s about creating legacies.
