What Aakriti does

Aakriti Architects is a Kolkata-based architecture and planning consultancy established in January 2004 by four principal architects (Diptiman Samanta, Arghya Majumder, Konaditya Bhattacharjee, and Sumon Gupta), each holding a B.Arch from B.E. College Shibpur and an M.City Planning from IIT Kharagpur, and registered with the Council of Architecture, the Indian Institute of Architects, and the Institute of Town Planners, India. The firm delivers an integrated, one-stop consultancy covering architecture, urban planning, transportation planning, interior design, landscape design, and project management consultancy (PMC), drawing on an in-house team of architects, urban planners, engineers, and CG artists supplemented by associate consultants across structural, electrical, sanitary, HVAC, and data networking disciplines. Technology is conventional: licensed CAD and 3D modeling/visualization software is used for design, sanction drawings, GFC drawings, and client-facing presentations; no proprietary platforms, apps, APIs, or AI tooling are disclosed.

The firm operates on a project-based professional services revenue model with custom, quote-based pricing tied to scope and complexity, no publicly disclosed rate card, and multi-year contract structures typical of government PMC mandates. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct client engagement, competitive bidding, government tenders, and referrals, with no digital marketing or social media presence beyond a project-portfolio website. The customer base is heavily skewed toward government and institutional clients in Eastern and North Eastern India, with named mandates across multiple state medical colleges (Sagore Dutta, Murshidabad, Malda, Jhargram, Barasat, RDJM), universities (Sikkim University, TISS), transport infrastructure (KMRCL metro terminal), PSU infrastructure (Bihar State Data Centre, DVC headquarters), and a small private-sector tail covering IT buildings, residential cooperatives, and a private international school. No funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, leadership changes, or geographic expansions beyond the Eastern India corridor are documented in the available data.
