“Mercury Architecture wins Business Excellence Innovation Awards 2025”
Mercury Architecture is honored to receive the Business Excellence in Innovation Award 2025, presented in presence of the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Judges felt that Mercury Architecture is ahead in innovation. The company has changed its customer architecture projects model to bring in the qualified technical people very early in the customer experience and involved its India-based trained architects also at that time, resulting in faster project delivery.
Thank you to all our clients, consultants, team members and alliance partners - this award belongs to all of us. Innovation with Intention. Always.
In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Banerjee, the visionary founder of Mercury Architecture, a leading architectural practice in New Zealand. Bobby shares his journey in architecture, from concept to construction, and what it takes to design functional, sustainable, and visually stunning buildings in today’s competitive market.
We explore the realities of the New Zealand building industry, the role of innovation in architecture, and how great design shapes the way we live and work.

“The Most Dynamic Leaders To Watch Out- 2024”
In the architecture and design industry, leadership is not just about managing projects—it's about blending creativity with function, guiding teams, and tackling obstacles. Effective leaders not only focus on achieving results but also inspire collaboration and drive innovation. Their influence is what helps firms grow and succeed, especially in the constantly changing industry.
Bobby (Shubhendu) Banerjee, Director and Senior Architectural Designer at Mercury Architecture, New Zealand is one such leader. Taking over a business at a difficult time, Bobby managed to turn it into a thriving architectural practice that now operates across two countries. His focus on mentoring, team-building, and delivering creative solutions has been key to the firm’s growth. Bobby's leadership goes beyond project management; it involves cultivating an organized team that collaborates and grows.

Bobby had the privilege of hosting Gauranga Darshan Das on the RISE Podcast to discuss a crucial question: "Are our kids spiritually prepared for the digital world?" In a time of constant distraction and pressure, children need inner grounding as much as digital skills.
This conversation is a reminder that guiding their values is just as important as guiding their tech use.
