Mumbai, September 17, 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.
Foundation laid at the site of the Astraya Experience Centre in Sector 63A, Gurugram
Spread across approximately 30,000 sq. ft., the Astraya Experience Centre is being developed as knowledge infrastructure for the built environment, bringing robotics, 3D concrete printing, material innovation and applied research together under one roof. The Centre itself will serve as Astraya’s first physical exhibit, combining a modern steel frame and reinforced-concrete base with a robotically fabricated printed lounge. Its surrounding display gardens will showcase robotically fabricated elements, including seating, planters, screens, water features and paving.
Inside, an immersive corridor will lead into a double-height fabrication hall, where robotic printing will take place in open view, complemented by a first-floor observation gallery and an adjoining materials laboratory for testing and experimentation. The Centre will provide architects, developers, consultants, material specialists and technology partners with a space to experience, test and explore emerging approaches to construction.
The foundation-laying marks an important step in taking Astraya from a knowledge and technology platform into a physical environment where its ideas can be experienced, tested and demonstrated. Robotic fabrication technology for the Centre is being supplied by European technology partners, while architecture and design are by Concept Planners International, an award-winning architectural firm.
Mr. Aashman Sarin, Founder, BARVL and Astraya, said, “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. We see it as a starting point to reimagine how the built environment can evolve and shape the way we live in the years ahead.”
Currently under construction in Sector 63A, Gurugram, the Experience Centre is envisioned as a hub for technology demonstration, material experimentation, robotic fabrication and collaboration across the built-environment ecosystem.a is shaping the next generation of intelligent, resilient and data-driven building systems for India and beyond.
