Hello! I’m Utpal Pande, a designer and lifelong resident of Nainital. I run a design studio called Pandesign, based right here in town. My work keeps me deeply connected to the people, culture, and environment of our beautiful city. Over the years, I’ve grown increasingly concerned about how Nainital is changing—and how disconnected we sometimes feel as citizens. That’s what led me to start NainiNow: a space for all of us to come together, share concerns, exchange ideas, and hopefully shape a better future for our town. This platform is a passion project. It reflects my belief that small, sincere efforts—especially when rooted in the community—can lead to meaningful change. I'm excited to see what we can build here, together.
