Satya Prabhakar, Founder & CEO, Sulekha, said, “Beautifying homes has always been a part of Indian culture and it is very interesting for us to note the diverse spending trends across Indian cities. Interestingly, Mumbai is among the cities that spends the least on home interiors but when it comes to office/commercial interiors, they are willing to splurge. The cost of interior services is on par with the real estate costs in Mumbai. On the other hand, Chennaites are traditional and spend a smaller sum for both home and office interiors. Although metros are shelling out more, the Tier II cities are also quickly catching up with the trend.”
