Pune has been one of the fastest-growing urban centers, emerging as a hub of education, technology, and industry, and playing a key role in India’s transformation into a dynamic, innovation-driven economy.
In this context of nation-building and city-making, VK Group (https://vk-group.org/), a leading built environment consultancy, has played a pivotal role in shaping Pune’s urban landscape through thoughtful design and sustainable construction practices. To celebrate this journey and spark meaningful conversations on the future of urban development, VK Group is hosting VKollective (https://vk-group.org/vkollective-a-vk-group-exhibition/), a three-day exhibition from 21st to 23rd February 2025 at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Sanskrutik Bhavan, Ghole road, Pune, open from 11 AM to 8 PM.
Under the theme “Building the City We Call Home: Making Pune Better by Design,” the exhibition will explore the work of VK Group, whose pioneering projects have significantly shaped the city’s landscape through architecture, urban design, and policy over the last five decades.
VKollective also aims to facilitate conversations, encourage the exchange of ideas and provide an opportunity to discover how thoughtful design creates meaning and drives change through panel discussions and workshops.
