New Delhi, March 25, 2026:

UniVicoustic, the international acoustic solutions powerhouse born from the strategic alliance between India’s Unitile and Portugal’s Vicoustic, has announced the appointment of Nataraju Shiva as Head of Business & Strategy, a press release from the company said.  

In this newly created leadership role, Shiva is tasked with accelerating the company’s expansion across global markets and strengthening its footprint within the architectural and design communities. The move marks a significant step in UniVicoustic’s transition from a specialized product manufacturer to a comprehensive provider of high-performance spatial solutions.

The appointment comes as UniVicoustic embarks on an ambitious roadmap to scale its operations across more than 70 countries. The company is currently diversifying its portfolio beyond traditional acoustic panels to include design-led, engineered products for corporate, healthcare, hospitality, and residential sectors. By leveraging patented technology from Vicoustic’s global R&D hub, the brand aims to set new benchmarks for wellbeing and productivity in built environments. Shiva’s leadership is expected to provide the strategic rigor necessary to navigate this complex phase of international and domestic growth.

A three-decade veteran of the built environment and workspace solutions industry, Shiva brings a distinguished track record of building market-leading brands from the ground up. He previously held pivotal roles at Wipro Furniture, Wipro Lighting, and Spacewood Office Solutions, where he was instrumental in establishing industry standards for sustainability and intellectual property in India. At UniVicoustic, his mandate includes shaping the company’s strategic direction, building scalable growth frameworks, and deepening the brand’s specification network with consultants and interior designers.

Commenting on the appointment, Managing Director Shabbir Rajkotwala stated: “Nataraju’s experience in building institutions and scaling purpose-driven businesses aligns strongly with UniVicoustic’s long-term vision. As we evolve into a globally recognised partner for innovative, human-focused spaces, his strategic leadership will help us strengthen our foundations while expanding our relevance in markets that matter.”

Upon taking his new post, Nataraju Shiva emphasized the importance of human-centric design in the modern era. “The intersection of purpose, people, and possibility is where the future of spaces lives. UniVicoustic is uniquely positioned to build environments that promote wellbeing, elevate workplace productivity, and set a higher standard for sustainability and design excellence. I’m looking forward to working with our teams and partners to create solutions that make a meaningful difference – globally and locally,” Shiva said.

This leadership update underscores UniVicoustic’s commitment to evolving into a solutions-led platform. By integrating design, wellness, and technology, the company aims to address the shifting requirements of modern infrastructure in India and abroad. With Shiva at the helm of business strategy, UniVicoustic is positioned to reinforce its status as a preferred partner for architects seeking to create thoughtful, high-performance environments.
