How India’s Top Structural Engineer Designs Safe High-Rises | Ajay Gupta on AI, BIM & Value Engineering | The CODE
What does it really take to design a safe high-rise in India?
In this episode of The CODE – India’s No.1 Construction Podcast, Rishabh Aggarwal sits down with Mr. Ajay Gupta, Founder & Principal Consultant at Perceptive Ideas Consulting Engineers Pvt. Ltd., one of the country’s most respected structural engineers behind landmark projects such as JW Marriott (Shimla & Sohna), AIIMS Faridabad, Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, Taj Amer Jaipur, and Krisumi’s Waterfall Residences.
With over 20 years of experience, an M.S. from IISc Bangalore, and more than 300 projects across hospitality, healthcare, public buildings, residential towers, and mixed-use developments, Ajay Gupta brings rare clarity to how great structures are actually conceived, tested, and built.
In this conversation, we explore:
How high-rise buildings are designed for seismic safety, drift control, and human comfort
What value engineering truly means—and why it is not about cutting corners
When a building should be retrofitted vs rebuilt
How BIM, cloud computing, and AI are transforming structural design
Why peer reviews are critical in preventing failures
The most common site-level mistakes engineers make
Why constructibility matters as much as calculations
What civil engineering students must learn beyond software
This episode is essential listening for civil engineers, architects, builders, developers, project managers, and students who want to understand the thinking behind safe, efficient, and future-ready structures.
If you care about structural engineering, high-rise design, seismic safety, BIM, AI in construction, durability, and ethical engineering, this conversation will change how you look at every building around you.
Build it right. The first time.
