When she got back to India in 1986, she began working on smaller projects and described the shift she felt in design aesthetics and detailing. Soon in 1989, she set up her practice in a young industry, and she goes on to explain the challenges she faced including fulfilling basic requirements like securing contractors which were soon overcome within a few years into her practice. In the 1990s, she says how she took on large-scale projects that involved industries and residences, mentioning details of some of those projects. She recalls some of the client negotiations and talks about comparisons between India’s and US’s landscape needs she had to draw from during her work. Furthermore, she talks about the sustainable technologies and processes she adopted in the majority of her projects starting early. Talking about the time she spent in  Ram Sharma’s office, she describes the varied scale projects she worked on including a hospital, an agricultural fair, a competition for a sports complex, individual homes, etc. Going back to the education she received at UPenn, she fondly remembers a professor who disrupted her way of thinking which led to a paradigm shift in the way she approached her work.
