Delhi NCR | 17 September 2026: Balaji Anant Raj Ventures Ltd. (BARVL) today marked a significant milestone in its built‑environment technology vision with the Bhumi Pujan of the Astraya Experience Centre in Sector 63A, Gurugram.
Spread across ~30,000 sq. ft., the Astraya Experience Centre is being developed as knowledge infrastructure for the built environment, bringing together robotics, 3D concrete printing, material innovation, and applied research under one roof.
Centre Highlights
- Combines a modern steel frame and reinforced‑concrete base with a robotically fabricated printed lounge.
- Surrounding display gardens will feature robotically fabricated seating, planters, screens, water features, and paving.
- An immersive corridor leads into a double‑height fabrication hall, where robotic printing will take place in open view.
- Includes a first‑floor observation gallery and an adjoining materials laboratory for testing and experimentation.
- Designed to provide architects, developers, consultants, material specialists, and technology partners with a space to experience, test, and explore emerging approaches to construction.
Strategic Significance
The foundation‑laying marks Astraya’s transition from a knowledge and technology platform into a physical environment where its ideas can be experienced, tested, and demonstrated.
- Robotic fabrication technology is being supplied by European technology partners.
- Architecture and design are led by Concept Planners International, an award‑winning firm.
Mr. Aashman Sarin, Founder, BARVL and Astraya: “The built environment is at the beginning of a paradigm shift, and the Astraya Experience Centre is our way of creating a place where that future can be seen, explored, and imagined. We want the Centre to bring the wider ecosystem together, encourage curiosity, and make new ways of building feel real.”
