Ar. Himanshu Saxena, with a decade-long career in architecture, has emerged as a visionary in integrating technology into customer engagement. His journey from an exceptional academic background to a pioneering role in the architecture and construction industry exemplifies continuous learning, adaptability, and innovation.

Born with an innate passion for design, he  began his educational journey at Holy Angels School and DAV Senior Secondary School. His academic brilliance was evident early on, securing the 11th rank in the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE). This stellar achievement paved his way to the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), where he honed his skills and deepened his understanding of architectural principles. To further expand his expertise, he pursued a post-graduation from the National Institute of Construction Management and Research (NICMAR), which equipped him with advanced knowledge in project management and construction.

During his ten years in the professional arena, he  has contributed to a wide range of high-profile projects, including residential complexes, a cricket stadium, a shopping mall, and an interstate bus terminal (ISBT). His versatile portfolio reflects not only his technical prowess but also his ability to envision and execute large-scale projects that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.

However, five years ago, he experienced a paradigm shift in his career trajectory. A visit to a sales and marketing center sparked his interest in how emerging technologies could transform customer interactions within the architectural realm. Recognizing the untapped potential in this niche, he delved deeper into exploring and integrating innovative technologies to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction.

Driven by a forward-thinking approach, began incorporating virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and interactive digital platforms into his design process. These tools allowed clients to immerse themselves in virtual walkthroughs of their future homes or commercial spaces, offering a tangible sense of scale and design that traditional blueprints could not provide. This technological integration not only facilitated better communication between architects and clients but also empowered clients to make informed decisions based on a realistic visualization of their projects.

One of his notable implementations was in a high-end residential project where potential buyers could use VR headsets to explore different apartment layouts and finishes before making their purchase. This innovation significantly enhanced the customer experience, leading to higher satisfaction rates and quicker decision-making processes. Similarly, in commercial projects like malls and ISBTs, AR applications allowed stakeholders to visualize traffic flow and spatial organization, optimizing the design for better functionality and user experience.

His  journey is marked by his continuous pursuit of excellence and his dedication to transforming the architectural landscape. His efforts in integrating cutting-edge technology into design processes have not only set new standards for customer engagement but also positioned him as a leader in the industry. As he continues to innovate and push boundaries, he  remains committed to creating spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and customer-centric.
