From airports to institutions, Sikka Associates has charted an impressive trajectory

Sikka Associates was founded by Raman’s father SR Sikka in 1981. Raman Sikka joined his father in 1993. Known for his contemporary and modern design balanced with simplistic and sophisticated architecture, Raman Sikka, over the past three decades, has carved an indelible niche for himself. For someone with such an illustrious portfolio Raman keeps a surprisingly low profile. It’s only when you delve deeper into their practice that you realise how diverse the portfolio is. In fact, the firm has also been listed amongst the world’s Top 100 by the annual listing WA 100 of the British Journal of Building Design. Through his focused approach and distinctive design style, Raman has led his firm to establish a strong foothold beyond borders as well. The firm now has projects in China, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Muscat. “Our philosophy is to offer complete client focused service at all stages of the project and to develop long term business relationships with each of our clients,” says Raman.
