Our Profile

Astha Design and Sustainable Consultancy LLP is a Pune-based multidisciplinary design and consultancy firm specializing in architecture, interior design, civil engineering, and green building consultancy. With over 18 years of domain expertise and a green footprint exceeding 6.7 crore sq. ft. across India, we are committed to delivering sustainable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions for commercial, residential, institutional, and industrial projects.

We specialize in turning your vision into a tangible reality.

Founded in 2017 by Ar. Sucheta Mehetre, Astha was born from a sense of responsibility rather than motivation. “Astha” means “devotion,” reflecting our core ideology—devotion to nature and the nation. The firm was established to address a critical gap in India’s building sector: the need for truly implementable, science-backed sustainable solutions. What began as a purpose-driven venture has evolved into a system-driven consultancy recognized across India for reliability, innovation, and delivery.
