Knowledge Center brings hands-on product experience and vendor connections under one roof, transforming how India’s architects and designers choose materials.
New Delhi, April 11, 2025: If you’ve ever worked on a construction or design project in India—residential, commercial, retail, infrastructure and more — you know how fragmented the process can be. Sourcing materials, comparing samples, chasing vendors, making sense of pricing—it all adds up to lost time and rising costs. But now, imagine having everything you need—tiles, paint, hardware, furniture, lighting, HVAC system and more—in one massive place, spread across 100,000 square feet. Welcome to Knowledge Center (KC), India’s largest new-age ecosystem dedicated exclusively to the construction and design industry.
Traditionally, brands sell building, interior, finishing or furnishing products—like tiles, bathroom fittings, furniture, or paints—and reach and convince architects, designers, contractors, and even homeowners to buy their products. Until recently, this involved expensive advertising, endless scattered product catalogues, and a lot of guesswork. Knowledge Center aims to completely change this traditional approach.
Located prominently at M3M Broadway on Golf Course Extension Road in Gurugram, the KC is a physical space that acts like a permanent exhibition for construction and design products. It’s a complete ecosystem where architects, designers, contractors, builders, consultants and related professionals can see, touch, and experience lakhs of product samples under thousands of specific categories and take an informed decision.
According to KC’s founder and CEO, seasoned architect, Ankur Jain, the idea behind this center is clear: “India already has hundreds and thousands of big and small stores or local suppliers, each working in their own respective spaces. We didn’t want to become just another multi-brand store. Instead, we built a platform or an ecosystem for the whole construction industry that connects them all, but without disrupting their existing sales. We follow a membership model for users, and a collaboration model for brands. It’s a clean, transparent system. That’s what makes this model stand out.”
This revenue model flips the traditional approach. Instead of earning from commissions, KC focuses on exposure and knowledge sharing. Brands—big and small—get direct access to decision-makers. Artisans from Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, MP and Rajasthan stand right next to high-volume manufacturers, levelling the field at KC.
For architects and studios, the impact is immediate. Imagine you’re a designer based in South Delhi, working on a luxury villa for a client from Chennai. Traditionally, you’d spend days, sometimes weeks, making countless calls, setting up meetings, and travelling extensively—visiting Morbi for tiles, Bengaluru for furniture, Jaipur for handcrafted décor, or Mumbai for high-end fittings. Each trip involves booking flights and hotels, coordinating visits to multiple showrooms, and managing endless logistics. It’s costly, exhausting, and often frustrating.
Knowledge Center completely changes this scenario. Now, you can simply invite your client to KC’s centrally located Gurugram center, where you can physically explore, compare, and finalise all your project materials with ease in just one smooth day. From the moment you step in, KC’s dedicated concierge will guide you at every stage of your selection, providing professional support and helping you find the right vendors, materials, and solutions effortlessly. Decisions that previously took weeks and cost lakhs of rupees in travel expenses can now happen seamlessly, making the entire process faster, smoother, and far more enjoyable for both you and your client.
But KC is not just about convenience—it’s also a knowledge hub. They have dedicated spaces like an immersive sample and catalogue library and resource hub, and even a rendering zone, where designers can create realistic 3D renders for their projects. The space hosts training, networking, product launch and industry events regularly, creating opportunities for continuous learning and networking.
KC also promotes sustainability in a practical way. Instead of brands relying on multiple printed catalogues and single-use marketing materials scattered across different locations, KC brings everything together under one roof. With digital screens, samples, and catalogues available in a single place, brands significantly reduce waste. This simple approach helps them directly connect with their target audience.
Ultimately, KC is redefining how the construction industry is experiencing and marketing its products. For brands, it means visibility with the right people. For professionals, it’s a smarter, faster, and more informed way to work. It’s a space where visibility, networking, and real opportunities come together—something worth considering for anyone serious about growth in this industry.
As Ankur Jain sums it up, “At KC, we’re not just displaying products—we’re connecting people, reducing their costs, saving valuable time, and building genuine trust. It’s an ecosystem of the future, and anyone who’s not part of it is truly missing out on a huge opportunity. We’re about to open our doors very soon officially, and we’re excited to welcome everyone to experience this firsthand.”
