What They Don't Tell You About Working in Indian Architecture

Architecture career in India, architecture internships, architect salary, AI in architecture and essential skills for architecture students — this podcast explores the real side of working in the Indian architecture industry. Are architects in India really underpaid? Why are architecture internship stipends still as low as ₹5,000–₹8,000? And what should architecture students actually learn before entering the industry? In this candid conversation, we discuss the realities students, interns and freshers often discover only after entering the profession — from internship stipends and practical site experience to AI, software skills, career growth and the gap between architecture college and real-world practice. We also discuss AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, 3ds Max, Excel, material knowledge, contractors, vendors, client interaction and choosing the right specialization in architecture and design. If you're an architecture student, interior design student, intern, fresher or considering architecture as a career in India, this podcast gives you practical insights into what happens beyond the classroom.
