Mumbai, January 18, 2022: Godrej & Boyce, the flagship company of the Godrej Group, announced that its business unit Godrej Locks & Architectural Fittings and Systems (GLAFS), today, introduced the inaugural edition of the GeeVees Awards. This year’s GeeVees Awards, curated by the Festival of Architecture and Interior Design (FOAID) is an industry recognition platform dedicated to celebrating the most innovative and conscious ideas in architecture and interior design.

With GeeVees, we want to build a nexus of thought leaders who are passionate about our planet and will rally to inspire like-minded AID professionals towards building designs that leave a positive impact on our society”. The GeeVees award will recognize work across industries like hospitality, residential villas and bungalows, product, art & furniture, as well as public and institutional buildings. The categories will be divided into two broad segments of architecture and interior designing.
 
The GeeVees Awards will bring together architects, interior designers, builders, developers, PMCs, and allied members of the fraternity to set the benchmark for the future of design in the country. The GeeVees Awards will also provide a platform for young designers to network and learn from stalwarts in the industry.  The platform is backed by a panel of jury members who are celebrated for leading change and transformation to sustainable architecture.

The GeeVees Awards are our way of giving back and recognizing their efforts put in towards designing state-of-the-art spaces for us to thrive in. We believe in celebrating big ideas and encouraging young talent to grow. We are confident that the GeeVees Awards will raise the bar for celebrating design excellence in the country.”
