Team Plaanet Interiors

"Hard work beats talent when talent does n’t work hard!" That best defines Kennede Josseph's journey. Ever since a young boy, nothing came easy for little Joseph. Born in a poor family, poverty hindered day-to-day living and education. But, this never stopped him from pursuing his studies. Making ends meet, Joseph, who was a passionate dancer, rolled up his sleeves to pay his school fees, whereby he took paid dance classes for the colony kids.

Unfortunately, this helped him reach up to high school. Due to the financial crisis, he then had to discontinue education. Joseph, not accepting his fate, decided to pursue his passion teach dancing and art, full time. One afternoon, an opportunity came knocking when his cousin brother, who runs an aluminium contracting business asked him to work with him. That was a turning point in his life, as he could use some extra money to support his family.

Hardworking Joseph did everything, right from approaching clients, to procuring materials, and fitting/installing the aluminium door sliders and windows. Sadly, he was being underpaid. Soon, mastering the art of business across other allied areas like furniture design, and 3D modelling amongst others, he later ventured into setting up his business office. That was the start of Sever in Interiors, named after his daughter.

Since then, there has been no looking back for him. With a single pair of formal wear, tie, and a dream to achieve big, young Joseph walked in the direction, where he could find construction sites and began meeting clients face to face, and closing deals. Exploring the realm of interior designing from scratch, he began executing one project after another, fruitfully. "In this industry, you have to be tough, as there is no room for nice people. If you are kind and friendly, people will take you for a ride. Most importantly, you also have to be creative. In the end, bold and beautiful always wins!" smiles Joseph, sharing his wisdom.
