Dr. Jai Ranganathan, CEO & Founder 3VIMA Pty Ltd
India’s rapid urbanization demands smarter construction. 3VIMA Pty Ltd, led by Dr. Jai Ranganathan, CEO & Founder is answering the call with cutting-edge robotics, AI, and 3D concrete printing—transforming infrastructure and housing through deep tech innovation.
What Makes 3VIMA a Deep Tech Disruptor
3VIMA is not just another construction firm—it’s a deep technology company that combines robotics, artificial intelligence, automation tools, and state-of-the-art 3D concrete printers to produce building solutions that are both smart and sustainable. Their model emphasizes:
- Advanced robotics and automation for precision and speed in on-site construction.
- AI-integrated build workflows to drive efficiency and optimize material usage.
- Large-format, portable 3D concrete printers, such as the proprietary LUYTEN Platypus X4 Special
Edition, capable of printing full-scale structures directly on-site, even in remote or challenging environments. As a result, 3VIMA’s innovations drastically reduce construction times, lower costs, and minimize waste all while ensuring architectural design flexibility and structural quality.
Transforming India’s Urban and Rural Landscapes
3VIMA’s technology is incredibly well-suited to India’s dynamic infrastructure needs. Whether it’s mass affordable housing, public amenities, or post-disaster rebuilding zones, the deployment of 3D concrete printing can address these challenges head-on:
- Ultra-fast project timelines: Capable of completing a three-bedroom home in as little as six weeks—far quicker than traditional methods.
- Lower construction costs and environmental impact due to reduced labor, material waste, and on-site operational inefficiencies.
- Design freedom: Allowing customized, culturally adapted architectural aesthetics for urban and rural markets alike.
- Skill development & employment: Enabling local workers to transition to high-tech skill sets, bridging the gap between traditional labor and future-ready careers.
Strategic Collaborations in India
Recognizing India’s market readiness for tech-driven construction, 3VIMA is currently in discussions with several leading construction giants to form partnerships on large-scale infrastructure and housing projects. These potential joint ventures aim to integrate 3VIMA’s 3D concrete printing technology into mainstream construction efforts, allowing faster delivery and higher-quality builds at scale.
While specific names of partners remain under wraps, Dr. Ranganathan’s participation in bilateral trade dialogues has opened the door for significant co-development opportunities. These partnerships will offer more than just technology transfer—they promise localized value creation, workforce upskilling, and sustainable ecosystem development.
The Man Behind the Vision: Dr. Jai Ranganathan
At the heart of 3VIMA’s mission is Dr. Jai Ranganathan, a technology visionary often regarded as “The 3D Man”, has over 35 years experience with global tech giants like IBM and Fujitsu, wtih a Master’s degree in Engineering from RMIT Australia, & a Honorary Doctorate in Mechatronics in Construction, Dr. Ranganathan brings a rare blend of technical mastery and a human-centered approach to innovation.His vision is grounded in responsible, future-focused development. In his own words:
“We fundamentally have a social responsibility for technology to scale and strive to apply it in ways that benefit and are accepted by the wider community. A key vision is to enable the construction industry to adopt 3DCP—the future of construction—mitigating the housing crisis and creating a sustainable future.”
Dr. Ranganathan’s commitment goes beyond Earth—collaborating with researchers to explor applications of 3D printing for extraterrestrial construction using regollith on the Moon, underscoring the universal adaptability and ambition of 3VIMA’s platform.
Looking Ahead: Transforming Vision into Reality With a strong technological foundation and an ethical innovation agenda, 3VIMA is poised to redefine construction in India. By:
- Establishing partnerships with construction leaders,
- Introducing AI and robotics into the mainstream building process,
- Focusing on affordable and sustainable solutions, 3VIMA isn’t just building structures—it’s digitally constructing the future of India’s infrastructure.
As India stands at the crossroads of growth and digital transition, 3VIMA’s deep tech approach offers a powerful solution to bridge the nation’s housing and infrastructure gap—one printed layer at a time.
