Thalla Lokesh

Founder & Editor-in-Chief

Thalla Lokesh founded MyHomeImpro after spending most of a decade in and around residential construction — first helping his family finish a half-built house in Hyderabad on a budget that kept shrinking, then managing renovations for other people who were making the same expensive mistakes he had. He writes the site’s home improvement, flooring and real estate coverage, and he is unusually stubborn about two things: publishing real numbers instead of vague ranges, and telling readers when the cheaper option is genuinely the better one. If a guide on this site says a job takes four days and costs a certain amount, it is because Lokesh has either done it or stood over someone who did. He also handles editorial partnerships and every guest post enquiry that comes through the site.
