Nestled in the evolving design landscape of Pune, Vineeta Tolia, founder of The Inside Project, is part of a new wave of designers redefining how people interact with spaces. Her work is layered, intuitive, and deeply personal—much like the woman behind it.
With over 11 years of experience and a creative vision grounded in empathy, Vineeta crafts interiors and landscapes that speak not only to the eye but also to the soul. Each project is a collaborative journey where beauty and function are never at odds—they are woven together through stories, emotions, and purposeful design.
A Business Mind, A Creative Soul
Before founding The Inside Project, Vineeta’s path began in a seemingly different world—that of commerce. With a B.Com degree from Pune University, she developed a strong understanding of structure, planning, and decision-making. However, her true creative spirit found its calling when she transitioned into the world of design.
She went on to complete a Diploma in Interior Design and a Diploma in Landscape Design from J.R.V.G.T.I., equipping herself with the technical and artistic skills needed to bring her vision to life. This combination—analytical thinking and creative exploration—is the foundation of her design practice.
“Designing Spaces. Creating Connections.”
The Inside Project—A Space for Thoughtful Design
Founded in Pune, The Inside Project is Vineeta’s expression of how design can be both personal and professional, aesthetic and strategic. She approaches each space as a blank canvas, not to impose her style but to bring out the identity of those who live or work in it.
Over the last 11+ years, she has worked on a diverse portfolio of residential and commercial projects—each shaped by her belief that good design should evoke a feeling of comfort, belonging, and meaning.
ID. Vineeta Tolia: Five Pillars of Her Practice
What sets Vineeta Tolia apart isn’t just her visual sense—it’s her values. Her design philosophy revolves around five core beliefs:
✦ Business Meets Design
Her commerce background allows her to align creativity with commercial viability—delivering designs that are practical, scalable, and investment-wise.
✦ Listening First, Designing Second
Vineeta’s process begins by understanding the client’s lifestyle, aspirations, and story—making the outcome a reflection of their true self.
✦ Culturally Informed Creativity
Her passion for travel and exploring different cultures infuses her work with diverse influences, thoughtfully integrated into modern Indian contexts.
✦ Designing for the Senses
Her spaces are designed not just to be seen but to be felt—through texture, light, layout, and movement.
✦ Detail Is Everything
No matter the scale of the project, she brings the same care and attention to detail—ensuring each corner is finished with purpose and precision.
Shaping the Future of Conscious Interiors
Vineeta’s outlook is refreshingly clear. Her vision for The Inside Project is not just about visual brilliance—it’s about designing with empathy, purpose, environmental sustainability, and integrity. She sees design as a collaborative journey where both client and designer co-create a story that feels authentic.
For her, success isn’t defined by awards or recognition, but by the quiet confidence her clients feel when they walk into a space that truly reflects them.

Her story is still unfolding, but one thing is certain: she’s designing more than interiors—she’s designing a new way of living.
