Chitra goes on to expand her professional journey, starting with her work at CnT Architects and further projects she took on in design and construction. She describes the time she spent working while pregnant and as a new mother, during which time she received a lot of support from her in-laws. She mentions that she used to work from home at the time, and how her father-in-law used to guide her regarding construction concepts since he was a Civil Engineer himself. In the process of setting up her work and office, she then recalls how her husband thought that they should have a house of their own. Moreover, she mentions the apartment complex projects she worked on, as well as the private residence projects she took on. She further details setting up her office at Sans Souci and the work that followed. She also describes the way she planned her work, expenses, and projects with the support of those around her.

Recalling the consortium of practitioners and architects that HUDCO set up, she mentions all the people who were a part of it and how they spent a considerable time on the Nandini Layout project. She also discussed their approach towards the ecological and sustainable construction of buildings and her affinity for brickwork. Concluding the session, she talks about the cherished collaborations with Dr. Yogananda, and how he mentored and guided their practice in several significant ways.
