meet the team

Pia Van Heijningen D'Souza, the second founding director of Ochiba Consultancy pvt ltd, combines her extensive background in product design and business administration with a deep passion for visual arts and aesthetics. As an accomplished author of art textbooks, Pia has honed the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively, a skill she now applies to educating Ochiba Consultancy’s clients on koi health care and handling.

Pia’s journey into the world of design began alongside her husband, Siddharth D'Souza, when they co-ran Nomad Motorcycles. There, she brought her artistic talents to life, painting motorcycles, crafting custom leather pieces, and managing the company’s administrative responsibilities. Her work infused each motorcycle with a unique aesthetic, making them as much a visual statement as a mode of transport.

At Ochiba Consultancy, Pia oversees customer relationships, ensuring each client receives personalized and thoughtful service. Her expertise in design allows the consultancy to offer more than just koi; it provides an immersive experience that integrates nature, design, and meditative energy into spaces. Pia’s ability to convey the importance of koi care, coupled with her artistic vision, adds a valuable dimension to Ochiba Consultancy’s leadership, making her instrumental in shaping the company’s approach to both design and client education.
