Stuti Jalan, Founder and Curator, Women Inspiring Network (WIN) shares the concept behind ‘the design’ of their podcast studio that nurtures modern womanhood, strength, and elegance. With design elements like dusky pink ceilings, arches, and natural light, the studio is crafted to make guests feel safe, confident, and inspired. In an email interaction with Tejaswini Paranjape, Jalan explains how these elements not only create a visually stunning space but also foster authentic conversations.
1. How did you weave the spirit of modern womanhood, strength, elegance, and unapologetic expression into the very walls, colors, and textures of the Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Studio?
Theย Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Podcast Studioย was designed to reflect todayโs modern spirit, strong, graceful, and confident. Every wall, color, and texture speaks of bold dreams and quiet strength. Blush tones and earthy accents bring warmth, while clean lines and open spaces stand for clarity and purpose. It is a space where elegance comes from authenticity. The ethos is simple, strength can be gentle, beauty can be functional, and every voice belongs here.
2. The dusky solid pink ceiling feels bold yet inviting. What was the emotional story you wanted this centerpiece to tell?
The dusky solid pink ceiling is like the crown of the studio. It holds the space together while making a statement. Pink here is not just a soft color, it is powerful. We chose a shade that is calming yet eye catching, encouraging people to look up and dream bigger. It adds intimacy while keeping the space warm and welcoming. It turns what is often seen as delicate into something strong, reminding everyone that confidence can be soft and still fill the room.
3. Many women describe the Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Studio as a sanctuary that feels both professional and personal. How did you balance functionality for podcasting with warmth for human connection?
We wanted theย Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Podcast Studioย to feel like a living room that also works as a professional recording space. The podcast setup is high quality but blended into cozy seating, soft cushions, and warm lighting. Guests can record, brainstorm, or simply share ideas over coffee.
WIN Voices Podcast Studio has brought leaders from India and global voices at Cannes, Davos, and New York, creating a platform for 25 powerful conversations.
The esteemed guests such as Kalyani Saha, Shaifalika Panda, Ridhi Kale, Harpriya Bains, Sanya Dawar, and Harpreet Suri have praised this space for its openness, comfort, and energy. The aim was to make it feel like you are talking to a friend even when speaking to the world. It shows that while we mean business, we also believe work can feel like home.
4. The use of arches, rattan, blush tones, and natural light creates a sense of openness. How do these design choices reflect the inclusivity and empowerment that Women Inspiring Network stands for?
Arches create a feeling of welcome, rattan adds natural warmth, blush tones keep the mood soft, and natural light makes the space feel alive. These are not just style choices, they reflect the openness and inclusivity we believe in.ย The Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Podcast Studioย feels free of sharp edges, with curves that invite people in. It is a place where different perspectives meet and everyone feels equally seen, valued, and celebrated.
5. When guests step into the Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Studio to share their voices, what sensory and emotional experiences did you intentionally design for them to feel safe, confident, and inspired?
When someone enters the Women Inspiring Network WIN Voices Podcast Studio, we want them to feel like the main character in their own story. The pink walls create warmth, greenery adds freshness, and every decorative element carries personality. Yayoi Kusama inspired art brings a burst of creativity, showing that it is fine to think differently. The air feels light, the atmosphere feels safe, and every detail from seating to scents says you belong here. The aim is for voices to feel stronger, confidence to come naturally, and inspiration to flow freely.
