According to Varanashi, people don’t like the concept of sustainability now. People nowadays search for everything that is cost-conscious, climatically appropriate, and culturally conforming. Sathya also believes on these three things- cost, culture, and climate.  So, maintaining these principals, Sathya Consultants are ready to work with any materials like mud, clay, bamboo, exposed bricks, normal bricks etc. They also work with different roof forms and architectural elements as well.

More than 100 contractors have worked with Sathya Consultants in different projects. They even have borrowed their ideas to work with other projects as well. This shows that Sathya Consultants is not here to promote their brand but to provide people with their innovative ideas.

Whoever comes to the brand for gaining an overall idea, they are provided with the in-depth knowledge. Once, they approve the idea, first the plan for the house is started. They don’t use any 3D projects to visualise the project to their clients. They make everything on their own.  Though they have worked on several big projects, Sathya calls their consultancy a middle-class firm. Because there are not only big projects with huge budgets, people with small projects also come to Sathya Consultants.
