VK Group

Since its inception in 1973, VK Group has been instrumental in shaping the architectural and urban landscape of modern Indian cities, particularly in western and southern India. As one of India’s oldest and most respected firms, we have grown to offer services in environmental design, urban design, architectural design, interior design, and operations services. These verticals – VK:a architecture, VK:e environmental, VK:i interiors, VK:o operations, and VK:u urban – collectively uphold their ethos of multidisciplinary offerings under one roof.
Driven by a talented cohort of partners, what began as a small architectural practice with just two employees has evolved into a dynamic team of over 300 qualified architects, urban designers, planners, landscape architects, environmental experts, civil engineers, valuers and business managers. In 2023, VK:a architecture completed 50 years of successful projects in India and abroad.Encrypted with ‘Better by Design’ as our Drive & Aspiration (D&A), we have expanded to offices in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Delhi and Dubai.
