GPM Architects & Planners

What GPM Architects & Planners does

GPM Architects & Planners (legally Gian P. Mathur & Associates Private Limited) is a New Delhi-headquartered architecture and engineering services firm established in 1980 by Gian P. Mathur. The firm delivers integrated services across six core practice areas — architecture, urban development, engineering, interior design, project management, and green building — covering commercial, healthcare, hospitality, housing, industrial, infrastructure, institutional, interiors, offices/IT parks, and urban design/township typologies. Its project portfolio spans multi-million-square-foot developments such as The Amaryllis (46 floors), Mahagun Metro Mall (10 million sq ft), Netaji Subhash Place District Centre (7.84 million sq ft), and Mangalam Ananda (35 acres), alongside signature infrastructure including Akshardham, Karkarduma, Anand Vihar, and Azadpur metro stations for DMRC.

Technically, GPM operates as a technology-enabled design practice rather than a software firm, employing parametric design tools (Grasshopper, Dynamo), Building Information Modeling (BIM) platforms, AI-driven rendering and visualisation, and Virtual Reality (VR) immersive walkthroughs to support design development, environmental simulation, and client engagement. The firm holds IGBC Gold (Mahagun Mywoods) and GRIHA 4-star (The Amaryllis) certifications, demonstrating capability in passive and climate-responsive design. Core products and services are described in a horizontal segmentation model rather than a SaaS or productised offering.

The business model is professional-services fee-based: revenue is generated through project-specific design, engineering, project management, and consulting fees negotiated per engagement, with no standardised public pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct business development, competitive tendering for government projects (CPWD, NBCC, DMRC, RLDA, WAPCOS), and repeat/referral business with private developers (Mahagun, M3M, Mangalam, Unity Group, Signature Global). The firm operates primarily in India with international projects in Mauritius, Maldives, and Malawi, and is founder-owned with no external institutional investment or public listing.
