Noida, also known by its full name, the New Okhla Industrial Development Authority, is one of the most systematically planned urban centers in India. A major part of the city is located in the Gautam Buddha Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh State, and it has already become a flourishing center for residential, commercial, and industrial developments due to its inclusion in the NCR (National Capital Region) plan. The city is praised for many of its excellent features, like the modern infrastructure, the high rate of real estate growth, and the rapid rise of the corporate sector presence. The region's administrative center is in Greater Noida, and that is where the best talent in architecture, engineering, and design is being nurtured.

In order to pay homage to the city's ever-growing design culture, Re-thinking The Future (RTF) unveils its curated list of architectural studios that are making considerable contributions to the urban identity of Noida. The listed names are in alphabetical order and are not rankings.
