About Anjali
Anjali Mody’s journey in design is a compelling narrative marked by passion, curiosity, and a commitment to meaningful impact. As the Founder and Creative Director of Josmo, a pioneering furniture design practice in Goa and Mumbai, her vision transcends aesthetics to explore how design shapes our interactions with spaces and each other. Graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009, Anjali honed her craft – merging India’s rich artisanal heritage with the modern sensibilities of the world today.

Her creations, like the Pai coffee table are more than mere objects; they are statements that invite reflection and connection. Anjali's philosophy of conscious creation underpins her entire body of work, emphasizing sustainability, thoughtful sourcing, and the upskilling of artisans. This approach has garnered Josmo accolades from platforms such as Forbes, Architectural Digest, and Elle Decor, alongside EDIDA Design Awards.

Today, Anjali stands at the forefront of a design revolution, continually redefining the essence of furniture. Through her expansive showrooms in Mumbai and Goa, and a state-of-the-art factory in Goa, she not only creates functional art but also shapes experiences that resonate deeply. Her endeavor is not limited to just designing furniture; but aimed at crafting a richer, more sustainable narrative that inspires and connects us all.

“First make it work. Then make it right. Finally, make it beautiful.
Over the years, I’ve learned that great design begins with listening — to collaborators, to clients, to the cultures we design within. JOSMO is built on that foundation. Every object we make respects the hand, follows the heart, and elevates the eye. My philosophy has evolved into a belief that design isn’t just an aesthetic exercise — it’s a powerful tool for self-discovery. When done right, it helps us live better, feel more, and see beauty in the everyday." – Anjali
