Rashmikant Yadav,
International Collaborator
Since 2011, Rashmikant has collaborated with VernerJohnson on its Mumbai museum projects, in particular the World Class Bollywood Museum. Rashmikant has worked shoulder to shoulder with Brad Nederhoff to aid in his completion of this important design work.
At a tender age of 16, Rashmikant joined his family business of constructing buildings. His family has customarily passed on the baton of knowledge to fathom the responsibilities of this adventurous job. A few years down the line, he realized that his forte is intense liaison with government organization to resolve long pending issues. This promoted Rashmikant to revive and complete Vadala, a truck terminus project in Mumbai, under the purview of the Government of Maharashtra, which was delayed for over two decades. This experience helped Rashmikant to steer his brother, Capt. Amol Yadav’s, dream. Capt. Amol envisions making Aircraft in India and for India. To support his brother, Rashmikant single-handedly negotiated with various government departments for provisioning 157 acres of land near the financial capital of India.
