From Engineering Student to Building Premium Spaces: Kalinga Kishore Parida Is Shaping Urban Project And Interiors with Purpose

BHUBANESWAR: Entrepreneurial life always starts with taking a risk. In the case of Kalinga Kishore Parida, this was the earliest step compared to others. Kalinga started his entrepreneurial ventures even during his B.Tech studies at Centurion University of Technology and Management (CUTM) when he launched an e-commerce business through mobile in his second year of engineering. Learning about doing business, handling operations and customer relations came from his academic and business activities.

This venture laid the foundation for his further development and led him to create Urban Project And Interiors, which is Bhubaneswar based turnkey infrastructure and interior solutions company founded in 2025.

One cannot deny the role of those who helped Kalinga in his entrepreneurial career from the very start. His father Mr. Pradipta Kumar Parida, who is a professor at the college, brought him up as an entrepreneur and taught him discipline, structured way of thinking and learning. His mother, Mrs. Pravasini Parida, was always beside him and helped him through all uncertainties.

Another major influence in his professional career has been his uncle, Mr. Pradip Kumar Behuria, who is a Super Class Contractor and hotelier. Through his mentorship, Kalinga got much-needed exposure to the industry of construction and infrastructure where he learned not just the nuts and bolts of how something is done but also about quality, professionalism and maintaining long-term relationships with clients. It helped him make a smooth transition from digital entrepreneurship to the industry of infrastructure and interiors.

Realizing the need for professionally managed turnkey projects in the state of Odisha, Kalinga established Urban Project And Interiors with a goal of making this industry more transparent and precise. Unlike many other companies which concentrate their work on interior decoration only, this firm provides comprehensive solutions from one point of execution.

The list of its services includes interior and exterior design, construction, UPVC and aluminum doors and windows, glass glazing, glass and steel railing, electrical work, sanitary solutions, painting services, along with outdoor and indoor gym equipment and playground equipment for children.

However, within a short period of time, Urban Project And Interiors has already taken part in several commercial projects, such as the project related to the Lemon Tree Hotel in Bhubaneswar.

Success for Kalinga does not only imply completion of projects, but also the confidence that clients put into his team. He stays loyal to projects which combine design, construction, and timely completion.

Urban Project And Interiors continues growing and increasing its geographical boundaries in Odisha and strives to create functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces which will last a long time. Based on entrepreneurial spirit, a solid family background, and guidance from professionals in the construction industry, Kalinga Kishore Parida is successfully establishing his company and is determined to set new standards of turnkey interior and construction solutions in the region.
