History

Idiom Design and Consulting was founded in 2005 with the merger of E-sign and Tessaract.

Sonia Manchanda, who founded E-sign – a design firm – along with Anand Aurora and Jacob Mathew who were part of the founding team of Tessaract – a space, furniture and product design firm – came together with support from Kishore Biyani, CEO, Future Group. They were later joined by Girish Raj. The firm currently employs 70 people.

The legacy is now headed by Ar. Abhinav Agarwal and Ms. Nandini Kulkarni, who run the organisation as a platform-cooperative network.

Idiom designs spaces, branding, signage and packaging in a variety of industries, including retail, education and media. Their clients include Manipal Group, Adlabs, Cisco Systems, Levis signature and Wipro.
