On April 28th, Saint-Gobain awarded prizes for the 13th edition of its International Gypsum Trophy. From the Americas to Asia, from Europe to Africa, our most talented and skilled Gypsum installers
competed in six categories: Plasterboard, Plaster, Residential, Non-Residential, Innovation and Ceilings, for the chance to win one of 15 prizes. Two prizes were awarded in each category: the Winner and the 2nd Prize.
From India, four contractors were nominated for five projects at the prestigious International Gypsum Trophy 2023, with two of them receiving recognition for their outstanding work. Gyproc India secured the second prize in the plasterboard category with contracting firm Ambience Interiors Pvt. Ltd. for the Meta office project in Gurugram, a 135,000 sqft office space spread over six floors that also houses the ‘Centre for Fuelling India’s New Economy.’ The building was designed to incorporate spaces that blend real, online, virtual, and augmented worlds, with artworks by renowned Indian artists showcasing the country’s cultural diversity. The building has also been awarded the LEED Platinum Certification by the US Green Building Council. In the Residential Category with the contracting firm DHIPL Projects Pvt.

The project was critical to the expansion plans of the sprawling 65-acre campus that houses residential hostels for girls, boys, and staff quarters.
