Akshaya Jain & Associates

What Akshaya Jain & Associates does

Akshaya Jain & Associates is a New Delhi-based private architecture and planning partnership firm providing consultancy services in architecture, urban design, master planning, interior design, and construction management. Established in its current form in 2011 as a successor to a partnership founded in 1986, the firm operates with a lean team of approximately 6 employees led by partners Akshaya Kumar Jain (45 years of experience) and Kshitij Jain (19 years). The firm serves primarily government and public-sector clients, including the Ministry of External Affairs (embassy commissions in Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Victoria, Luoyang, Canberra, New Delhi for Brazil), multiple Indian Institutes of Technology (Kanpur, Bhilai, Gandhinagar), NPCIL, state governments (Punjab, Manipur, Jharkhand), and autonomous institutions. The portfolio spans institutional, residential, embassy, industrial, religious, and conservation projects across five countries (India, Nepal, China, Malaysia, Seychelles), with current project values aggregating approximately INR 1,400 crore (USD 200 million).

The firm's core technology is professional architectural design expertise rather than a software or platform product. Design differentiators include green building and Net Zero design capabilities (with Kshitij Jain holding IGBC Accredited Professional status), conservation and revitalization expertise demonstrated through ASI's Adopt a Heritage scheme consulting for Dalmia Bharat Ltd, and experience across flat and contoured sites from low-rise to multi-storied buildings. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is registered with the Council of Architecture and India's MSME program.

The business model is project-based professional services: the firm competes primarily through winning architectural design competitions (20+ first prizes documented) and secures engagements on multi-year contracts with fees negotiated per project. Revenue is generated from professional consultancy fees on architecture, urban design, master planning, interior design, and construction management work. Go-to-market relies on reputation, competition wins, awards (JIIA, International Construction Award), publication in national/international architecture media, and relationships with government ministries and PPP transaction advisors such as EY India. The firm has no external investors, PE/VC backing, or parent company, and ownership remains concentrated with the two founding partners.
