About Us

Four Decades of MEP Engineering Heritage

From a single-practice consultancy founded in 1985 to a 65-strong team serving India's most prestigious hospitality and real-estate brands.

Our Heritage

Founded 1985. Still family-led.

Techno Group was started in 1985 by the late Mr Sudhir Shetye, specialising in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) consultancy services. For nearly four decades, the practice has focused on dealing with major greenfield five-star hotels, IT buildings, commercial developments, and residential projects.

Today the firm is led by Mr Rohit Sudhir Shetye — a Chartered Electrical Engineer with an MBA and over 20 years of multi-disciplinary experience. Under his leadership, Techno Group has become one of the primary MEP consultants for the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL / Taj), having completed nearly 30 major projects with them alone.

Our Philosophy

What Sets Us Apart

Engineering discipline. Codal compliance. A hands-on approach from design brief to day-of-commissioning.

I

Adherence to Engineering Standards

Every design grounded in NBC, ASHRAE, IS codes, local authority norms, and brand standards. No shortcuts, no assumptions.

II

Flexibility on Fast-Moving Projects

Hospitality architecture evolves through design. Our teams adapt to rapidly changing layouts without losing engineering coherence.

III

Decades of Challenging Experience

40 years of working with the most demanding architects, PMCs, brand standards and owner representatives in the country.

IV

Emerging Technology Adoption

Full BIM Collaborate workflows, CFD analysis, load flow studies, hydraulic modelling, IGBC sustainability — in regular practice.

V

Timeliness & Sincerity

Design delivered on schedule. No design-drift, no scope-creep excuses. Reputation built one project at a time.

VI

Owner-Led Practice

Director Rohit Shetye personally reviews every major project. Senior engagement from brief to sign-off — not junior hand-off.
