TechnoStruct Group Becomes an Authorized Autodesk Reseller and Authorized Autodesk Learning Partner in India
New Delhi, Sep 10: TechnoStruct Group, a player in Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction in India, announces that it has been named an Authorized Autodesk Reseller and an Authorized Autodesk Learning Partner.

“Becoming an Authorized Autodesk Reseller and Learning Partner is a natural next step for us. It allows TechnoStruct to move beyond training & BIM/VDC services, and offer clients a true end-to-end solution, from choosing the right Autodesk products to implementing them, training their teams, and supporting them through every stage of adoption. This is a key part of our larger AECO expansion, and it strengthens the value we bring to the industry,” said Mr. Roy Aniruddha, Founder, TechnoStruct Group.
With this authorization, TechnoStruct becomes one of the few organizations in India equipped to combine Autodesk software procurement with hands-on implementation and training expertise under one roof. The company said the move strengthens its ability to support AEC organizations navigating digital transformation, particularly as demand for BIM adoption, Digital Twins, and data-driven project delivery continues to accelerate across the sector.
Going forward, TechnoStruct plans to build out its Autodesk solutions and services offering further, integrating it with its BIM training programs and industry partnerships to support clients through every stage of their digital transformation journey.
