Katerra Design Pvt. Ltd. has secured $200.0 million in a recent funding round from investors. The company, formerly known as KGD Architecture, is a leading international integrated practice firm specializing in Design, Engineering, and MEPF verticals within the building industry. Established in 2003, Katerra Design operates with a team of over 300 professionals across major Indian cities including Bangalore, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. Its diversified portfolio spans sectors such as Healthcare, Workplace, Aviation, Hospitality, Education, Commercial, Retail, Residential, and Industrial, with over 200 successfully completed projects, establishing it among the top design firms in the region.
In 2019, Katerra Design strategically partnered with Katerra, a Silicon Valley-headquartered construction technology startup. This collaboration has enabled Katerra Design to offer a unique proposition in large-scale project management, making it India's first company to integrate design, technology, and offsite manufacturing capabilities. The partnership is fundamentally driven by a shared vision to deliver smarter buildings and better communities for everyone.
The newly raised capital of $200.0 million is intended to significantly accelerate Katerra Design's strategic initiatives and expand its market reach across its various verticals.

The funding underscores investor confidence in Katerra Design's robust business model and its potential for continued growth in the evolving construction and design technology landscape. The company plans to leverage these funds to strengthen its prominent position as a leading design firm in the region and pursue its vision of delivering innovative and efficient building solutions.
