Cities like Surat are at the forefront of India’s transformative infrastructure growth as the landscape of urban development evolves at an unprecedented pace. With a strong focus on creating people-centric, future-ready urban spaces—and with major developments such as the Surat Diamond Bourse, expanded textile and industrial hubs, and large-scale smart city projects—Surat presents unparalleled opportunities within the infrastructure and construction ecosystem.

This progress, however, introduces new and complex challenges for design and construction teams, who must navigate tighter project timelines, strengthen cross-discipline coordination, and meet rising expectations around transparency, traceability, and sustainability.

Surat’s ambitious expansion, powered by robust investments in metro networks, road infrastructure, riverfront developments, housing projects, and urban amenities, demands modernized approaches to project delivery and governance. With a continued emphasis on sustainable urbanization, adoption of advanced technologies, and balancing rapid development with environmental responsibility, Surat is shaping the future of smart, resilient, and highly livable cities.

Team Marksmen Network’s Design India Forward forum, presented by Autodesk, will bring together architects, engineers, consultants, and project leaders—along with other key stakeholders—to explore how Autodesk’s connected ecosystem can empower firms to modernize design workflows, from planning to handover, ensuring timely execution while upholding the highest quality standards.
