Event Overview

ORGATEC India 2026, themed “WorkNXT: Design × Technology × Experiences”, will take place from 19 to 21 November 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre (JWCC) in Bandra‑Kurla Complex, Mumbai. The second edition, organised by Koelnmesse India Pvt. Ltd., will occupy 10,000 sq m of exhibition space.

Market Context

India’s office and workplace market recorded a record 45.5 million sq ft of space absorption in the first half of 2026, the highest H1 figure to date. The surge is attributed to demand from Global Capability Centres, flexible‑workspace operators and large domestic occupiers. According to the CBRE 2026 India Office Occupier Survey, 77 % of occupiers plan to expand their office portfolios over the next two years, underscoring the continued strategic importance of physical workplaces.

WorkNXT Theme and Six‑Stage Journey

The WorkNXT theme structures workplace transformation into six interconnected stages:

  • Design – aligning spaces with evolving workstyles and business needs.
  • Specify – translating ambitions into appropriate furniture, materials, technology and performance standards.
  • Procure – balancing quality, cost, availability, sustainability and long‑term value.
  • Build – delivering adaptable, technology‑enabled, future‑ready environments.
  • Operate – integrating facilities, technology, data and services for efficiency and responsiveness.
  • Experience – ensuring the workplace enables productivity, wellbeing and a desire to return.

Through exhibitions, product discovery, expert discussions and business engagement, the event connects each stage for architects, designers, corporate real‑estate leaders, manufacturers, technology providers and facility managers.
