The grand inaugural ceremony took place in the presence of key dignitaries such as Mr. Nirupam Chaudhuri, Director, NASSCOM; Ms Bharti Singh Kalappa, Head of Facilities, Noida International Airport; Ms Sakhee Chandrayan, Founder & President, INBAC (Integrated Building Automation Community); Dr. Mala Singh, Chairperson, Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)(CII) - Mumbai Chapter, Mr. Makarand Kulkarni, Council for Realty Infrastructure & Services Promotion (CRISP) Contributor & Senior Leader, Global Administration & Facilities Operations; Mr Ajay Bhatt, CRISP Contributor & Group Head – Corporate Services, Godrej Industries Group; Oliver Frese, COO, Koelnmesse GmbH and Mr. Milind Dixit, Managing Director, Koelnmesse India.

India’s office market continues to expand at record pace; Grade-A office leasing crossed 70 million sq ft in 2024, while the demand for managed and flexible workspaces grew 57% year-on-year. With organisations now prioritising ESG-aligned workplaces, human-centric design, AI-enabled facility automation, and health-focused interiors, ORGATEC India arrives at a decisive moment for the country’s USD 150-billion workspace transformation journey.

Mr. Nirupam Chaudhuri, Director, NASSCOM, said, “ORGATEC India has emerged as a dynamic platform that seamlessly blends technology, design, and human experience to shape the future of workspaces. As work evolves beyond fixed locations, creating intelligent, comfortable, and sustainable environments has become essential for productivity and well-being. NASSCOM values such collaborations that unite innovators, solution providers, and entrepreneurs in shaping responsible, tech-driven workplaces for the future.”

Ms Bharti Singh Kalappa, Head of Facilities, Noida International Airport, said, “ORGATEC India stands out as a vibrant confluence of ideas where creators, thinkers, and decision-makers come together to shape what tomorrow’s workplaces will be. This exchange of perspectives is essential for driving progress as India takes center stage in the global transformation of work environments. The journey ahead is about collaboration, creativity, and building spaces that reflect the spirit of a new India.”

Speaking at the inaugural, Mr. Oliver Frese, COO, Koelnmesse GmbH, said, “India’s workplace ecosystem is evolving at pace. Flexible and managed offices now account for nearly one-fifth of all new leasing, while green-certified building completions crossed 70 percent in the first nine months of 2025. ORGATEC India creates a global stage where innovation, sustainability and technology converge. With this launch, India formally enters the international dialogue on how tomorrow’s work environments will be designed, equipped and operated." 

Speaking on the launch edition of Orgatec India, Mr. Milind Dixit, Managing Director, Koelnmesse Pvt Ltd said, “Bringing the debut edition of ORGATEC to India was a strategic decision driven by the country’s rapid shift from cost-based office development to value-led workplace investment. Companies are now prioritising ergonomics, acoustics, wellness and technology-enabled planning and this is reflected in the numbers. The corporate wellness market is already over USD 2.5 billion and the office furniture segment is set to rise from USD 4.8 billion in 2025 to more than USD 7 billion by 2030. ORGATEC India has been created to support this change by giving Indian decision-makers a direct global-standard platform for sourcing next-generation workplace solutions.”

With its century-old legacy, ORGATEC India is not just continuing history but shaping the next chapter of intelligent and automated workspaces. INBAC is privileged to be part of this forward-looking collaboration driving innovation and transformation in the built environment.”

Dr. Mala Singh, Chairperson, Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) – Mumbai Chapter, said, “ORGATEC India deserves appreciation for curating a meaningful platform that redefines the purpose of workspaces, moving beyond productivity toward health, wellness, and environmental responsibility. At IGBC, sustainability is viewed as a shared agenda where collaboration among institutions is essential to address climate change, decarbonization, and global well-being. Every workspace must embody sustainable design and responsible practices to nurture both people and the planet, because there is no planet B.”

Mr Makarand Kulkarni, CRISP Contributor & Senior Leader, Global Administration & Facilities Operations said, “Council for Reality Infrastructure Services Promotion was founded by the fraternity to advance knowledge sharing among India’s facility and infrastructure professionals. With a focus on collaboration and sustainability, our efforts aim to create value while protecting the planet for future generations. ORGATEC’s entry into India aligns with the nation’s growth momentum and vision for a developed India by 2040, paving the way for a smarter and more sustainable future.”
