What ARCOP does

ARCOP (Arcop Associates P. Ltd.) is an Indian architecture and built-environment consultancy founded in 1985 and headquartered in New Delhi, with additional offices in Gurgaon, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. The firm operates as a single unified professional services practice rather than a platform-plus-modules business, organizing delivery around service lines (Architectural & Built Environment, Engineering Coordination, Interior Design, Master Planning & Urban Design, Project Planning & Control, and Specialised Services including sustainability/LEED and heritage conservation) and across nine project categories spanning residential, hospitality, healthcare, education, civic infrastructure, conservation, commercial, and international work.

The firm serves a mix of private real estate developers (DLF, Jaypee Greens, Godrej Properties, Emaar MGF, Adani Township), government and public-sector bodies (AIIMS, ITPO, PWD GNCTD), premier educational institutions (IITs, IIMs, American Embassy School), and healthcare providers (Medanta). Marquee executed projects include the T3 Terminal at IGI Airport Delhi (600,000 sq. m), the India International Convention & Expo Center (371,952 sq. m), the Aga Khan Award-winning Mughal Sheraton Agra, and the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum under the Central Vista Redevelopment Plan.

ARCOP earns revenue through professional fees for architectural consultancy, typically structured across the project lifecycle from feasibility and concept design through construction supervision. It pursues large, complex mandates via consortium arrangements with international partners such as France Muséums Développement, HOK Aviation London, Mott MacDonald, and AEDAS. The firm maintains a Pan-India delivery footprint alongside executed international projects in Oman, Dubai, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Congo, and is led by founding partners Ramesh Khosla and Debasish Guha.
