"Dear Shambhavi, Recently the Iconic Week of the 'Azaadi Ka Amrit Mohatsav' (AKAM) for the Ministry of Finance was celebrated. It was a celebration of the achievements and heritage of the Departement. The dedication to the nation of the briliantly curated and passionately restored 'Dharohar' - the National Museum of Customs and GST in Panaji, Goa by the Hon'ble Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs on the 11th of June, 2022 was the highlight of the celebrations. The event required a high level of co-ordination with various agencies and Departments. A number of cogs, many in the background, needed to come together for its smooth and efficient execution. I would like to take this opportunity to the place on record my appreciation for the hard work and initiative taken by you in making the event a grand success."

"Shambhavi Padukone Rana was referred to us through INTACH Delhi in 2018, when we approached them with the idea of redesigning the spaces at the Amar Mahal Museum and Library, Jammu. The themes included a hundred years of Dogra rule to show-casing the huge geographical area and cultural diversity of the State of Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh. The heart of the museum is the series comprising 49 paintings on the Nala Damayanti story, in late Kangra Miniature Style and these required to be re-arranged with commentaries to be fully appreciated. The Entrance gallery was recreated to become a sort of interpretation space to introduce the achievements of the Dogra era, a much neglected period of History.
Shambhavi is a very competent and accomplished designer with a deep understanding of space and context, and we were able to consult very frequently on both historical and aesthetic aspects of the project. She travelled within the city to get an idea of the culture of the place, taking her work as ‘more than the call of duty’ and also took elements from the facade of the Amar Mahal itself which were used as backgrounds in the large graphic panels. Shambhavi coordinated very well with our staff at the Museum throughout and was able to accomplish a great deal of work in a relatively short time. She has an excellent team and the transportation and putting up of all the graphics was done impeccably. The reorganisation of the Nala Damayanti paintings with angling of the frames and commentary was overseen by her throughout.
I found Shambhavi to be very talented and appreciated her firmness and dedication. It has been a real pleasure working with her and I wish her the very best for any future projects. We hope to consult with her on a continued basis."

"Triptych Consultancy has designed a spectacular museum of an international standard for the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre. The museum is an aesthetic blend of art and technology where the artifacts are innovatively integrated with engaging audio-visual elements. The inspiring sequence of events and the important milestones that led to the making of the most advanced spine orthopedic and neuromuscular surgical center in India has been artistically curated by Shambhavi. In keeping with the barrier -free plan of the hospital, Shambhavi has thoughtfully ensured accessibility, maneuverability and ease of navigation within the museum. I’m sure the museum experience will undoubtedly have a positive in motivating our patients."

"Shambhavi has done a wonderful job redesigning select galleries in the Shri Parijnanasharm Vastu Sangrahalaya, a community museum of the Chitrapur Saraswats in Shirali, Karnataka. She designed and executed the work after extensive research and detailed discussion with us.
Shambhavi and her team travelled to relevant sites in the State, where she derived inspiration from local architecture and developed intricate patterns to display our artefacts. She artistically worked on an interesting 3-dimensional backlit artwork depicting the Kotiteerth scene (a defining moment in the history of our community). A large mural painted on the wall behind the wooden Ratha that is used during the annual Rathotsava festival is an impressive visual that has enhanced the look of the whole museum."
