In a recent project executed in Gurugram, what initially appeared to be a routine interior execution assignment gradually unfolded into a troubling situation. The project involved Ar. Sparshi Gupta of Design Foundation, who was associated with the project as the architect, and the end client for whom the office interiors were being executed. The work was executed, the site was completed, and the project was handed over. However, after completion, payments are left unpaid.

This emerging practice—known globally as parametric art—is reshaping contemporary sculpture. In India, however, it remains rare. It is within this expanding frontier that Sushant Jai-Amita Verma positions himself as a Contemporary Parametric Artist from India, exploring geometry-driven art installations across multiple scales and materials.

The Rise of Parametric Design in India: How Sushant Verma Helped Shape a Movement (from Zaha Hadid Architects to rat[LAB] Studio) Sushant Verma—often regarded as a pioneer of parametric design in India—has been one of the central figures behind that shift. From his time at Zaha Hadid Architects (London) to research-driven practice and teaching across geographies, his journey has helped translate computational design from a global discourse into a thriving Indian ecosystem.
