Behind every Sankara creation is a deep mastery of craft and materials, guided by an uncompromising commitment to quality that extends beyond aesthetics and function.

Alongside its collections, Sankara offers bespoke customization for residential and commercial spaces, developed in close dialogue with clients, designers and architects.

Set across 300,000 square feet in Jodhpur, Sankara’s atelier brings together master craftsmanship and advanced capability, where tradition and innovation compliment each other. Each piece is guided with care through every stage, from design to final finish, shaped by close collaboration with designers and an unwavering attention to detail. This considered approach defines Sankara’s strength in refined craftsmanship and bespoke customisation.

The Man Behind the Spirit

Something made by hand, will always have a little individuality, which is not a mistake, it’s what makes it unique and special.

Praveen Singh Daspan

At the heart of Sankara is its founder, Praveen Singh Daspan, a relentless perfectionist with a deep reverence for craft. His pursuit of excellence led him to Florence, where he trained in furniture restoration and gold leafing at the renowned Bottega d’Arte.

Praveen is guided by an enduring appreciation for the finer details of life, the small, often overlooked choices that quietly define quality. Whether it is the cut of a jacket, the balance of a room, or the feel of a well-finished surface, his eye is drawn to what is thoughtful, restrained, and made with care. This sensitivity shapes his work at Sankara, where his keen sense of style and attention to detail inform every decision. Praveen values precision over excess. For him, good design is not about making a statement; it does not seek attention. It simply belongs, shaping how a space feels.

Beyond design, Praveen brings the same discipline to tennis. He is the key promoter of the annual Jodhpur Open Tennis Tournament, part of the International Tennis Federation (ITF) circuit. Equally central to his life is a quiet commitment to philanthropy, driven by purpose.

At Sankara, Praveen brings together craft, intent and human connection, shaping a brand defined not only by how things are made, but by why they matter.
