Almost six per cent of the office space is devoted to indigenous plants. It is also fitted with efficient water and light conservation systems. The base building at KP Towers is rated LEED Gold, with efforts to build modern workplaces that mitigate its environmental impact.

“The expansion of the India Development Center in Noida is our continued effort to empower every person and every organization on this planet to achieve more.
