Instrumental in unifying experts from multiple verticals, the Summit was co-created with our presenting partner – Havells; interior solutions partner – Hafele, HVAC partner – Blue Star, category partners – Knauf Ceiling Solutions and Boon Edam; furniture partner – AFC; infrastructure partner – Tata Projects and knowledge partners – WoD & GACS. It aimed to establish a platform that addresses various modern office challenges and solutions.

The ninth edition of this series was conceptualised to inspire, engage, ideate and share insights on progressive office space design. The congregation was attended by experts from various fields such as architecture, design, facilities management, project management, urban planning, environmental consultants, etc. Through the all-day event, delegates received valuable insights and a chance to interact with leaders of some of the biggest companies.

Indrajeet Saoji, Director, ITP Media Group India, welcomed the gathering and invited Partha Karmakar, Business Head, Professional Lighting, Havells, to deliver the opening address.
