Arjun Gupta Sarma

Principal

Arjun leads digital product development at HR&A, focusing on the intersection of quantitative methods, data science, web development, and policy to drive insights and decision-making for clients across the country.

With a strong belief in leveraging data and technology to tackle complex urban challenges, Arjun collaborates with public and private sector clients to develop interactive dashboards, spatial analysis tools, and policy calculators. These digital products enable monitoring of housing market conditions, demonstrate the impacts of development policies, and advocate for equitable outcomes.

Notable projects include the Texas Digital Opportunity Hub, an interactive website showcasing the state’s efforts to close digital gaps; the the Florida Apartment Scarcity Dashboard, which tracks the state’s growing housing needs; and the Indiana Housing, a data and policy repository for the entire state of Indiana.

Prior to joining HR&A, Arjun created GIS tools and analytical models for the City of Austin. He also provided mapping and market analysis support for a main street organization in Boston as a Community Service Fellow at the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies.

Arjun holds a Master’s in Urban Planning from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, concentrating in Real Estate and Urban Development, and a Bachelor’s in Political Economy with a minor in City Planning from UC Berkeley.
