Through Chrysalis Foundation for Self Expression, he nurtures youth empowerment and creative confidence, while his healthcare initiative Plus+ by Pencil For Change advances preventative and post-recovery care solutions that make healthcare more accessible and equitable. His work also extends into sustainable fashion and ethical lifestyle products through Invoguevari London, a global brand celebrating handwoven heritage textiles, biodegradable materials, and low-carbon luxury design rooted in Indian craftsmanship.

As an architectural sustainability expert, Ompriya is deeply engaged in decarbonizing the built environment, advocating for low-carbon design systems aimed at reducing present construction-related emissions and contributing toward net-zero goals by 2050. His philosophy integrates architecture, art, science, and technology as tools for liberation and regeneration—reimagining spaces, products, and systems that create both ecological and human wealth.

Under his leadership, Pencil For Change has expanded into innovative platforms including decluttering-to-wealth circular waste models, ethical bidding marketplaces, waste transformation systems, and sustainable commerce ventures such as Purikhaja.com. Across every initiative runs one unifying vision: transforming waste into value, heritage into innovation, and overlooked communities into leaders of change.

Driven by the belief that “Art & Architecture will set us free,” Pattnaik Ompriya Mohanty continues to challenge stereotypes, redefine sustainable luxury, and build systems where social equity, climate responsibility, and cultural identity coexist in harmony.

I’m someone who finds inspiration at the intersection of creativity and structure. As an architect, I’m deeply interested in design, spatial thinking, and the way environments influence human experience. Beyond work, I enjoy exploring minimal aesthetics, experimenting with visual concepts, and building ideas that blend function with identity.

My interests extend into branding and entrepreneurship, where I like creating clean, impactful concepts that feel both modern and rooted. I’m also drawn to music, travel, and observing everyday details that often spark new perspectives. Whether it’s designing spaces, shaping ideas, or refining concepts, I enjoy the process of turning vision into something tangible.
