Locks & Architectural Solutions (LAS), a business of Godrej Enterprises Group (GEG), has inaugurated a new Experience Centre in Mysore to strengthen its presence in Karnataka—one of its top three markets in India. The centre aims to provide homeowners, developers, and institutional clients a hands-on experience with Godrej’s latest range of mechanical and digital locks that combine safety, design, and sustainability.

With Karnataka’s organised locks market growing at 6–7 per cent CAGR, LAS expects over 33 per cent growth in the next two years, driven by rising adoption of connected and smart locking systems. Mysore’s expanding premium housing segment and demand for digital-first home solutions make it a strategic hub for the company’s South India expansion.

The Experience Centre serves as a one-stop destination offering live product demonstrations, interactive workshops, and digital learning tools. Customers can explore LAS’ smart locks, including connected home solutions, while learning about safety, convenience, and aesthetic integration. Reinforcing the Make-in-India vision, all products are locally designed and manufactured, supporting sustainability through responsible sourcing and recyclability.

“Karnataka has emerged as a strategic growth region for us,” said Shyam Motwani, Business Head, Locks & Architectural Solutions, GEG. “This new Experience Centre is designed to foster learning and engagement where customers and partners can see, touch, and understand the value of our Make-in-India innovations.”

The centre will also host carpenter meets, developer collaborations, and training sessions to strengthen partner enablement and service excellence.
