In a quiet suburb outside Mumbai, a young boy named Virat Bapat wasn’t playing with his toy cars—he was reinventing them. Each broken wheel became a puzzle, each forgotten object a chance to create something new. Long before he knew the language of design, he was already speaking it—restoring, reimagining, and refusing to throw things away.
That instinct stayed with him.
Raised with the pulse of Mumbai and the quiet of the countryside, Virat grew up in a world that celebrated patience, preservation, and purpose. In a culture shifting rapidly toward convenience and consumption, he found himself pulled in the opposite direction—toward slower, more meaningful ways of making and living.
His journey took him to Italy, the cradle of timeless design. There, Virat didn’t just study form and function—he discovered how deep design could become when it told a story, honored materials, and lived in harmony with nature. This philosophy became his foundation.
Returning to India, Virat created Virat & Company—not just a brand, but a way of thinking.
Set in the green sanctuary of Karjat, far from the chaos of city life, his EcoEdit Workshop was born. It’s a space where craft meets consciousness, where rustic Indian textures blend with Scandinavian minimalism, and where every object is built with intention—not just for aesthetics, but for soul.
Here, guests don’t just shape wood or mold clay—they shape their values. Every workshop is an invitation to reconnect with the act of making: to slow down, breathe, and understand that the things we create can carry meaning, memory, and responsibility.
The product line that emerged is no different—each home decor piece isn’t just made, it’s crafted. From handcrafted furniture to functional art, every creation honors tradition while embracing modern design that feels essential, not excessive.
Virat & Company is built on a quiet rebellion: a resistance to the disposable, a return to the meaningful. It’s for those who believe that design should reflect who we are, how we live, and what we stand for.
Built in India. Rooted in Nature. Powered by Design. This isn’t just design. It’s design with a conscience. It’s design that remembers its roots—and shapes a more mindful future.
“Kalpe sawal hai, jeena filhal hai.”
Hi, I’m Saish Shinde — designer, maker, and professional overthinker of why that one corner just doesn’t look right. I love turning wild ideas into things you can actually touch, whether it’s sketching quick concepts, experimenting with materials, or building products that balance creativity with purpose.
Design, for me, is never just about the final outcome it’s about the journey of discovery. I enjoy diving deep into details, asking too many “what ifs,” and finding joy in shaping ideas that surprise, solve, and spark stories. Whether it’s reimagining everyday objects, working on collaborative workshops, or simply exploring form and function, I see design as a playground where curiosity leads the way.
At the heart of it, I try to keep things simple, meaningful, and a little playful because that’s when design feels alive.
I believe the soul of a product lies not just in its function, but in its finish. This idea is central to my work, which is why I focus on creating highly polished experiences. I love exploring, and whether I’m discovering new technologies or out riding my bike, I’m always eager to learn something new. This curiosity fuels my creativity. My love for photography, now a hobby, has sharpened my eye for detail, helping me produce innovative and well-executed designs. Ultimately, I enjoy turning ambitious concepts into well-built, functional products that are a pleasure to use.
Step away from the city’s restless rhythm and into a day shaped by stillness and creation. Nestled between whispering forests and quiet mountains, our workshop is a breath of fresh air—free from honks, haze, and hurry.
Here, you’ll craft with your hands, connect with like-minded souls, and let nature’s calm inspire every moment.
