Our Team

Ankita Mathapati Nikumbh graduated from Sir JJ College of Architecture, Mumbai’s oldest and most celebrated school of architecture. Her career spans over two decades of practice across hospitality, commercial, data centre, and multiplex design at a scale few Indian architects achieve. She led the design of India’s largest data centres for Vodafone and IDEA, working closely with Swiss engineering organisations and adhering to international design standards.
Ankita spent six formative years shaping India’s multiplex revolution, collaborating with PVR and INOX on over one hundred cinema projects across the country. She has worked with developers of the stature of Oberoi, Hiranandani, Phoenix Marketcity, and Brigade, contributing to the skylines of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.
Her expertise ranges from the exacting technical demands of cinema acoustics and projection geometry to the nuanced challenges of brand identity for large entertainment chains. At Bricolage Bombay, she steers design management, project delivery, and the hospitality practice.

Vinit Nikumbh holds a Master of Architecture from Cornell University, one of the world’s foremost schools of architecture and urbanism. His undergraduate studies in Mumbai earned him the Thesis of the Year Award from the National Council of Architecture India and the Ratan Tata Endowment — two of the highest honours available to an Indian architecture student. He has won seventeen design competitions over his career, and his professional work has been published internationally, including in Metropolis Magazine, the Journal of the Indian Institute of Architects, the Asian Paints Colour Quotient, and a Cornell University publication on Moscow.
Vinit has taught at the Rizvi College of Architecture, Rachna Sansad’s School of
Architecture, the Balwant Seth School of Architecture, and the Kamala Raheja School of Architecture in Mumbai. He was the first employee and part-time faculty at the School of Environment and Architecture (SEA), Mumbai. As a research fellow at the Urban Design Research Institute (UDRI), he authored a landmark study on walkability in Mumbai that directly informed the city’s pedestrian accessibility guidelines. He has exhibited work at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, London; at KHOJ International Artists Residency, New Delhi; and at the American Institute of Architects Gallery, New York.

Bricolage Bombay is a studio built on the principle that great design emerges from diverse collaborations. Our core team of architects and designers brings together formal training from India’s leading institutions with hands-on experience across museums, resorts, cinemas, retail, and community architecture. We work with a wide network of specialist consultants — structural engineers, lighting designers, exhibit fabricators, graphic designers, content strategists, and digital artists — because we believe the best buildings are the product of the best conversations.
