Aerie
Aerie
“Learn. Build. Get hired. All in one place.”
Aerie is a mentorship-first platform for architecture students covering competitive exams, software skills, career guidance, and an exclusive job board for architects and designers
The opportunity
India needs 31 million new housing units by 2030, a real estate market hitting $926B by 2031, and AI reshaping how buildings are designed — yet most architecture graduates enter the market underprepared. Aerie is building the defining platform to train and place the architects India needs.
The brief
India's architecture students have no clear path from campus to career. Aerie is the end-to-end platform covering exam prep (GATE, NATA), software training (AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper), 1-on-1 mentorship, and an exclusive job board. Built for architects, by architects.
The edge
India's next infrastructure decade needs a new generation of architects — design-literate, tech-fluent, and career-ready.
Why now
As AI reshapes architecture and India's middle class moves towards design-conscious living, demand for skilled architects is surging — yet education hasn't kept up. Legacy coaching is outdated, generic EdTech doesn't understand the profession. The timing for Aerie has never been better.
