Those Who Build with Thought

Every idea needs a human pulse. SATORI was founded by people who believe that dialogue — not dogma — is the foundation of peace.

They come from architecture, mathematics, policy, education… multiple disciplines united by one conviction: that the future must be built through compassion, not competition.

Meghana Dutta

Meghana believes that spaces — whether built of stone or silence — can shape how people think, feel, and belong. Trained as an architect and steeped in storytelling, she designs environments where dignity and imagination meet.

At SATORI, she leads the design of dialogue itself — crafting the emotional and spatial conditions for reflection and awakening.

For her, peace is not theory; it is architecture in motion — something we construct together, moment by moment.

Her academic grounding in Environmental Policy and Development at Harvard informs a practice where design, sustainability, and social justice converge. She believes a just city begins with who we see and who we include in shaping it. Her vision is to build a more inclusive India, one space, one story, one voice at a time.

"When conversation becomes consciousness, transformation begins."

Our Philosophy
