Hosting 103 exhibitors from over 10 nations and anticipating more than 8,000 business visitors, ORGATEC India 2025 aims to reshape how the country envisions and experiences its work environments.
The opening ceremony was graced by an esteemed line-up of industry leaders including Nirupam Chaudhuri (Director, NASSCOM), Bharti Singh Kalappa (Head of Facilities, Noida International Airport), Sakhee Chandrayan (Founder & President, INBAC), Dr Mala Singh (Chairperson, IGBC – Mumbai Chapter), Makarand Kulkarni (CRISP Contributor & Senior Leader, Global Administration & Facilities Operations), Ajay Bhatt (CRISP Contributor & Group Head – Corporate Services, Godrej Industries Group), Oliver Frese (COO, Koelnmesse GmbH), and Milind Dixit (Managing Director, Koelnmesse India).
India’s office real estate continues its record growth trajectory, with Grade-A leasing surpassing 70 million sq. ft. in 2024. Demand for managed and flexible offices has surged 57% year-on-year, reflecting a decisive shift toward human-centric, sustainable, and tech-enabled work environments. As the nation advances along its USD 150-billion workspace transformation journey, ORGATEC India arrives at a pivotal juncture.
Nirupam Chaudhuri, Director, NASSCOM, highlighted “ORGATEC India brings together technology, design, and human experience under one roof. As work transcends fixed spaces, the need for intelligent and sustainable environments has become central to well-being and productivity. NASSCOM welcomes such collaborations that connect innovators and creators shaping responsible, future-ready workplaces.” Bharti Singh Kalappa, Head of Facilities, Noida International Airport, added “This platform brings together visionaries, designers, and leaders to co-create the workplaces of tomorrow. It’s a celebration of collaboration and creativity as India takes a leading role in redefining global work environments.”
Oliver Frese, COO, Koelnmesse GmbH, noted “With flexible and managed offices now representing nearly 20% of new leasing and over 70% of new completions being green-certified, India’s workspace ecosystem is evolving rapidly. ORGATEC India provides a global stage where innovation and sustainability meet.”
Milind Dixit, Managing Director, Koelnmesse India, remarked “The decision to bring ORGATEC to India reflects the country’s shift from cost-driven office development to value-based workplace investment. The office furniture market alone is projected to grow from USD 4.8 billion in 2025 to USD 7 billion by 2030, while corporate wellness already exceeds USD 2.5 billion. ORGATEC India aims to empower Indian decision-makers with direct access to world-class solutions.”
