The campus amenities include a creche, food court, amphitheatre, indoor and outdoor game areas, a swimming pool, gym, ATM, clinic, and financial exchange services. Inside the office, there are planned recreational areas with a TT table, foosball table, carom board, chess, K-box, Ludo table, and a wellness/prayer room.
