Livspace Co-founders Anuj Srivastava and Ramakant Sharma

Livspace, digital home interiors, and renovations platform announced that it has launched its operations in Singapore.

Livspace was founded in 2015 by Ramakant Sharma and Anuj Srivastava, seeking to provide a three-sided marketplace and a design automation platform that connects designers, vendors, and consumers. It is a full-stack service that offers consumers a home decoration and renovation experience from design to installation.

Livspace also has Canvas, its proprietary design-to-installation cloud platform, launched in 2016, that unifies the fragmented ecosystem of home renovations – including homeowners, designers, micro-studios, and vendors.

Livspace uses data science-enabled algorithms to match homeowners with designers based on style preferences, budget, the scope of work and timelines. Homeowners – through the Canvas platform – can see quick mock-ups that give the look-and-feel of their home.

The company then assures the delivery of the project, using technology to make the experience as seamless as possible.

Singapore marks the first step in our APAC growth and will serve as the headquarters for our global expansion,” said Livspace’s CEO and Co-Founder, Anuj Srivastava.
