Shyam Krishnan is the most exciting import from Kerala, even more than Sreesanth. It is a delight to work with him. Atul Kasbekar Photographer |
Shyam lives up to the first three letters of his name and is one of the most reticent people I have come across. He speaks only when spoken to, or when he has something to say. He cuts straight to the chase and stops when he's finished. Much like him, his work is marked by precision and a quiet elegance. In a loud, cluttered, chaotic world and media environment, silence is a virtue. ("At 60 miles per hour, the only sound you can hear in this brand new Rolls Royce is the sound of the electric clock." Remember that one? My point exactly.) Shyam loves a glass of charcoal- mellowed, smooth sippin' Tennessee whiskey with a bowl of banana chips golden-fried in Kerala coconut oil. Since we are what we eat (and, well, drink), Shyam combines his local roots with a global sensibility that befits designers in Thomas Friedman's flat world.

I see a sense of rebellion in his works. He has great courage to break out of the rule book and experiment with everything around him. G V Sreekumar Associate Professor, IDC, IIT Bombay |
