‘Demand for high-performance workspaces rising in India’

Haworth, a leading provider of design-led workplace solutions, is strengthening its growth strategy with a focus on expanding its distribution network and strengthening local supply chain capabilities, as demand for high-performance workplaces continues to rise across India.

The company has built a strong presence through its experience and design centres in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi/NCR, Chennai and Hyderabad, supported by a robust manufacturing facility in Chennai. This setup enables faster delivery, greater customization, and improved responsiveness to client requirements. India’s importance in Haworth’s global strategy is reinforced by the expansion of Global Capability Centres and multinational operations, which are driving demand for sophisticated, experience-led work environments aligned with global standards.

“India is no longer an emerging market for us; it is a strategic growth engine. The scale of opportunity, combined with evolving workplace expectations, is reshaping how organisations design and use office spaces. Our focus is on building local capabilities, expanding our reach, and partnering with clients to deliver integrated workplace solutions that enhance productivity, collaboration, and employee well-being.

For Haworth, India also plays a dual role by driving Asia Pacific growth while supporting global accounts with consistency, scale, and innovation. It is a market where we are not just participating, but actively shaping the future of work,” said Manish Khandelwal, Managing Director, Haworth India.

As part of its next phase of growth, Haworth is expanding into emerging cities through a stronger dealership network, improving access to emerging business hubs. At the same time, Haworth continues to strengthen its local operating model, improving agility, delivery timelines, and the ability to deliver customised solutions across markets.

Government initiatives such as ‘Make in India’ and ongoing infrastructure expansion are further strengthening the manufacturing ecosystem, improving ease of doing business and enabling greater localisation. This is helping companies like Haworth align more closely with customer expectations for faster delivery and local sourcing, while also supporting expansion into new and emerging business hubs.
