Hailing from Pune, Mr. Vikas and Mrs. Nilima Bhosekar, represent the next generation of landscape architects.
After acquiring the Bachelor's degree in Architecture, from the University of Pune, in 1986, Mr. Bhosekar completed his post-graduation from the School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi, in 1988. Thereafter, he underwent rigorous training under the eminent Prof. Mohammad Shaheer, New Delhi. Backed with such strong educational qualifications and sound practical training, he opted to start his independent practice as a landscape architect, with his architect wife, Nilima, at Pune, in 1989.
Right from the beginning, they were entrusted with very large and prestigious projects such as the Aqua-park at Borivili - first of it's kind in and around Mumbai, involving intricate and modern water equipment and gadgets, New Era School at Panchgani, spread over 35 acres, Harmony - residential complex at Mudh-Marve road, Sacred Heart Township at Pune, which won the AESA Award '98, Spicer India factory at Satara.

They strongly believe, that ‘ Simplicity in design and detailing and, also of course, hard work and perseverance have all made this possible'.
