Over the next 18 months, Livspace, which claims to have a 65% market share in the organised home interiors sector, plans to open 150 Design Experience Centres (ECs). The company aims to capture demand for modular solutions in markets such as Indore, Surat, Lucknow, and Mysore, among others, during this phase of expansion. It currently has over 25 locations in metros and non-metro areas such as Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi, and others. Livspace will also look to onboard over 1,000 new design entrepreneurs across the country to help support its expansion plans.

Anuj Srivastava and Ramakant Sharma founded the company in 2014, and it has since raised $200 million in funding. It has 22 Experience Centres across India, the largest of which is in Marathahalli, Bangalore, and is 23,000 sq ft. The company launched its own brand of modular kitchens and wardrobes in December 2015 and began offering services in Bengaluru, New Delhi, and Mumbai.
