Fatema Kurawarwala is a Principal designer and owner of Byora Design Studio, Udaipur.

Owner of Byora Design, Fatema Kurawarwala reflects on a powerful thought by Roy T. Bennett: “Seek to be worth knowing rather than well known.” She unpacks this idea by expressing that fame or recognition holds little value if one lacks integrity or compassion. What truly matters, she suggests, is being the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression through kindness, humility, and authenticity. For her, being remembered fondly by those we meet is far more meaningful than merely being recognized by many.

Principal Designer Fatema Kurawarwala further shares a quote by Mahatma Gandhi: “Learn like you will live forever, live like you die tomorrow.” She reflects on how this thought continually inspires her to introspect—asking herself each day whether she has learned something new and whether she has truly lived the day to its fullest. This mindset, she believes, fuels both personal growth and purposeful living.
