Mumbai, June 6, 2025 — The WOArchitect Career Conclave (WCC) 2025, billed as India’s first dedicated career conclave for architects, is set to take place on Saturday, June 14 at NESCO, Goregaon (Mumbai). The one-day event will focus on bridging the gap between architectural education and professional opportunities across the design and construction industry.
The event has received official support from CREDAI-MCHI, the apex body of real estate developers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Organisers say the conclave is aimed at architecture students, recent graduates, practicing architects, and those exploring alternative or interdisciplinary careers in the built environment. Key components of the conclave include walk-in job interviews, higher education guidance, career counselling, and expert sessions across themes such as legal practice, entrepreneurship, urban research, and architectural management.
Speakers confirmed for the event include Ar. Amol Shimpi, Ar. Rupali Gupte, Ar. Hrishikesh Phadke, and Ar. Amita Gore, among others. The conclave will be inaugurated by Shri Narayan Rane, Member of Parliament and former Union Minister. The event is organised by WOArchitect, a platform co-founded by architects Milind Surve and Snehal Jagdale Surve, which currently serves over 15,000 members through its digital initiatives. According to the organisers, WCC 2025 aims to become an annual career-oriented platform for the architectural profession, which has so far lacked formalised career development infrastructure in India.
