What ANA Design Studio does

ANA Design Studio Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-based architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) consultancy founded in 1996, delivering integrated design-to-build services across institutional, industrial, commercial, retail, residential, and hospitality building types. Its service portfolio spans architectural design from pre-concept through Good-for-Construction (GFC) documentation, in-house Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering, and construction/project management, supported by a Client Consultancy practice and Interior Design services. The firm's technology stack is anchored on Building Information Modeling (BIM) for coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP drawings with clash detection and buildability analysis, augmented by IoT-based building management systems (PoE lighting integrated with HVAC and fire alarm via smart sensors) and proprietary methodologies such as the Design Basis Record (DBR) process. Notable engineering firsts in India include the country's first LEED-certified building (SRL Beas, 2008), the first IGBC Gold-rated industrial project, the first BIM-based institutional building (Kashmir University Admin, 2018), and the first radiant cooling installation (New Plasser India, 2019).

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model with multi-year contracts and scope-driven (not standardized) pricing, and pursues enterprise clients through direct field sales, repeat engagements, referrals, and competitive tendering. Customer concentration sits with marquee logos across sectors — Reliance (Industries, Retail, Technology Group), Walmart, Decathlon, ITC Hotels, Airtel, SRL Diagnostics, Whirlpool, Mahindra Defense, University of Kashmir, Landmark Group, Brookstone, and SPAR Nigeria — with active projects across India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the UAE, Oman, Nigeria, and Myanmar (seven-plus countries). It maintains a New Delhi headquarters and a Dubai regional office (Al Habtoor Business Tower), runs a wholly-owned handcrafted furniture sub-brand called TimbreGrain (launched 2018), and is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment. Headcount is stated at approximately 20+, with the team led by Ritesh Kashyap (Project Head) and Somjit Sahni (Engineering Department Head). The firm has accumulated roughly twenty industry and conference recognitions since 2019, including ET Real Estate Award 2022 and CWAB Architecture Winner 2020, and pursues thought leadership via Autodesk, IIDA, Eldrok, and Beginup speaking engagements.
