At just 21, when most people are still searching for purpose, Mohammed Mudabbir was already laying the foundation of a vision that would redefine interior design in India. Today, as the Founder and Managing Director of ONNEXT Interios, he is recognized as one of the most promising entrepreneurs in the world of luxury interiors and construction. His journey is not merely about aesthetics and structures—it’s about ideation, innovation, and inspiring change.

Based in Koramangala, Bengaluru, ONNEXT Interios is far more than a design firm. It is a canvas where ideas meet execution, blending luxury, comfort, and human-centered design.

“ONNEXT Interios is poised to make history,”

“Design isn’t about walls and furniture—it’s about identity.
At ONNEXT, we don’t just transform spaces—we reflect people’s souls through them.”

Mudabbir often says, and his company’s story so far proves the sincerity of that claim. What began in 2019 as a boutique operation has grown into a powerhouse of creativity and execution, servicing clientele across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors.

With a Diploma in Interior Design and an MBA in business strategy, Mudabbir brings a rare fusion of creativity and commercial acumen. From the outset, he immersed himself deeply in every project, leaving his signature in each curated space. But even brilliance must evolve, and by 2023, he recognized a pivotal need—to scale smartly. Through rigorous research and self-reflection, he identified strategic gaps and, with precision, addressed them. The result was a dynamic restructuring of the team in 2024, welcoming seasoned professionals with 15+ years of experience, elevating the quality and ambition of the firm.

“Interior design is not just about beautiful homes—it’s about experiences, about making lives better,”

Mudabbir reflects. True to this ethos, ONNEXT Interios launched India’s first-ever interior design customization offer—an initiative that allows customers to choose from over 100 brands with more than 50,000 options across colors, textures, and finishes. It’s a bold, disruptive offering that gives customers the freedom to tailor every inch of their space.

ONNEXT Interios offers bespoke interiors, architectural planning, ultra-premium furnishing, and even imported furniture from international markets. Whether it’s a cozy urban apartment or an ultra-luxurious villa, every project comes with a lifetime warranty—underscoring their uncompromising commitment to quality and customer trust.

Their growing reputation has led to multiple prestigious accolades. In 2024 alone, ONNEXT Interios received:

• Fastest Emerging Interior Designing Company of the Year (Pride of Karnataka Awards)
• Indian Iconic Interior Design Firm of the Year

Mudabbir himself was honored with:

• Indian Iconic Entrepreneur of the Year for Excellence in Interior Designing
• Outstanding Innovation in Luxury Interiors (India Design Awards)
• Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year

“Our interiors are built with empathy and executed with excellence.
We listen, we adapt, we obsess over every inch—because we know this isn’t just work.
It’s where people live, dream, and build futures. That’s a responsibility we honor deeply.”

But beyond the glitz, Mudabbir’s business model is deeply human-centered. He sees each project as a livelihood generator, enabling jobs across supply chains, construction, design, and aftercare. His dream is rooted in empowerment—not only for clients but for his team, channel partners, and the industry at large.

His path, like all entrepreneurial roads, wasn’t without struggles. He candidly recalls how initial financial missteps taught him the value of a healthy cash flow.

“I underestimated cash reserves,” he admits.
“But it taught me discipline, planning, and the importance of expert advice.”

Juggling personal responsibilities with business demands also tested him, shaping his priorities and making him a resilient leader.

His design influences are global, but his entrepreneurial spirit remains uniquely his own. While he admires global design icons like Kelly Wearstler, it’s his inner voice that guides him most.

“I’m here to create, not compete,” he says, reiterating his belief in collaboration over rivalry.

The expansion blueprint of ONNEXT Interios is ambitious. In 2025, the company aims to go pan-India, beginning with Hyderabad, Chennai, Mysuru, Mumbai, and Pune. Each location will be approached with in-depth market research, local hiring, and tailored strategies.

“Interior design isn’t one-size-fits-all,” Mudabbir notes.
“Every city has its heartbeat, and we want to listen before we design.”

The company is also in talks to build collaborations with real estate agents and builders, creating a strong referral ecosystem. Leveraging digital platforms, ONNEXT Interios plans to enhance its online footprint and make its services more accessible to millennials and Gen Z homebuyers seeking personalized, premium design experiences.

What sets him apart? According to Mudabbir, it’s a triad of resilience, adaptability, and constant learning.

“I never stop evolving,” he says.

Whether it’s design trends or leadership styles, he’s always seeking the next level. His business acumen is matched only by his empathy—listening deeply to client stories and crafting solutions that are as functional as they are beautiful.

His advice to budding entrepreneurs is heartfelt and clear:

“Have a burning desire. Research your market, define your value, and never stop learning. Setbacks are lessons, not failures.”

For those entering interior design, he stresses the value of storytelling, emotion, and execution.

“Understand client psychology. Know that every space holds emotion. Don’t just design—transform.”

In every room ONNEXT Interios creates, you see a story. In every layout, a legacy. And behind it all stands a man not just driven by ambition but fueled by purpose. Mohammed Mudabbir isn’t building homes—he’s designing lives, one dream at a time.

“Every project is a chance to outdo our past.
Every client is a collaborator in the art of space.
Our mission is simple: to turn interiors into immersive experiences.”
