19 Aug 2025 CW Team

Hyderabad, one of the world’s fastest-growing millionaire cities and a hub for healthcare, pharma, GCCs and IT-BPM, is expected to cross 150 million sq. ft. of office stock by end-2025. This growth is fuelling demand for premium, future-ready office spaces—an opportunity Haworth is tapping into.

Henning Figge, President, Haworth International, said,

“This showroom marks our deepened commitment to India and particularly to fast-growing cities like Hyderabad. With its smart design, ergonomic focus, and sustainability-first approach, this space reflects our belief that the right environment can enhance well-being and productivity. It’s not just a showroom—it’s a vision for the workplace of the future.”

Praveen Rawal, Vice President Sales, Haworth APAC, said,

“We selected this location with care—it offers a perfect intersection of urban connectivity, sustainable architecture, and design-consciousness. The space has been curated to engage both corporate and personal stakeholders through immersive displays and collaborative zones that bring to life Haworth’s global design ethos.”

Manish Khandelwal, Managing Director, Haworth India, added,

“This new experience centre in Hyderabad is a testament to the momentum we’re seeing in India’s premium workspace segment. Clients today are seeking more than just furniture; they want spaces that inspire creativity, reflect brand values, and support employee well-being. Our focus is to deliver exactly that, and this launch is a significant step forward in that journey.”

Located within the IGBC ‘Gold’ pre-certified Gowra Palladium, the centre integrates sustainable materials, natural lighting, and zoning strategies, while the building itself offers energy-efficient systems, modern infrastructure, and ESG-aligned features.

As part of its broader India growth plan, Haworth aims to expand to 10 showrooms by 2026. The Hyderabad centre will also serve as a collaborative hub for clients, designers, and architects to explore next-generation workspace concepts and test ergonomic solutions.

Since entering India in 1997, Haworth has steadily strengthened its footprint. Its Chennai manufacturing plant produces for both domestic and global markets, while its 26,000 sq. ft. Global Shared Services Centre, set up in 2023, supports international operations. A new 113,000 sq. ft. factory is underway in Sriperumbudur to double capacity. Today, Haworth operates seven showrooms in India, including two dealer-run centres, and employs over 300 professionals nationwide.
