Bengaluru, 1st June, 2026: Riding the wave of Karnataka’s booming commercial real estate market and the rapid expansion of the Tech Corridors and Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Karnataka, AFC Furniture Solutions has planned aggressive expansion strategy across the state, focusing on Karnataka as a key growth engine to its national business roadmap. The company is targeting a projected 30% revenue growth in FY 26-27, driven largely by the demand surge for future-ready office environments across Bengaluru and emerging tech and business corridors.
Karnataka today anchors nearly 25-30% of India’s Grade-A office stock, with Bengaluru alone recording over 16 million sq. ft. of office space absorption in recent years – the highest in the country. Industry estimates suggest this demand could cross 18 million sq. ft. by the end of 2026, fueled by a fresh wave of GCC expansion, AI-led enterprises, fintech firms, large-scale tech occupiers, and tech corridors including Outer Ring Road (ORR) Corridor, Bengaluru Signature Business Park & Devanahalli, and KHIR City.
“AFC Furniture Solutions has strategically aligned itself with the transformation, positioning its ergonomic and sustainable workspace solutions at the centre of India’s evolving office infrastructure story,” said Maanoj Tomar, Founder, AFC Furniture Solutions.
The company recently executed several high-profile projects across Karnataka, delivering sophisticated workplace solutions for industry leaders such as HDFC, where it outfitted a 5 Lakh sq. ft. corporate space in Bengaluru, and Honda, providing ergonomic workstations for their 1.2 Lakh sq. ft. facility in the city. Further strengthening its footprint in the state’s managed office sector, AFC delivered scalable modular setups for IndiQube’s expansive coworking network and collaborative furniture for WeWork’s hubs, which often span between 50,000 to over 1 Lakh sq. ft. per location in Bengaluru. Additionally, the firm provided tech-driven environments for Vertex service centres and premium Grade-A fit-outs for TableSpace across multiple Bengaluru sites totalling over 3 Lakh sq. ft., specifically designed to meet the rigorous global standards of the region's rapidly growing Global Capability Centres.
The company plans to significantly scale its presence across Karnataka through expanded project execution capabilities, deeper design consultancy support, and increased workforce deployment across Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi and Mangaluru. AFC will also strengthen its partnerships with developers, architects and corporate occupiers to cater to the rising demand for premium, technology-enabled office interiors.
“Karnataka today is shaping the future of India’s workplace economy. The scale at which GCCs and technology companies are expanding here has fundamentally changed what businesses expect from office environments,” said Tomar. “This is no longer just about furniture, it is about creating intelligent, ergonomic and globally benchmarked workspaces that improve productivity, employee wellbeing and sustainability outcomes from day one. Our investments in Karnataka reflect our confidence in the state becoming India’s long-term workplace innovation hub.”
Industry trends indicate that companies are increasingly prioritising experiential workplaces, wellness-focused design and ESG-compliant infrastructure as employees return to offices in larger numbers. In Bengaluru’s premium tech parks, occupiers are rapidly shifting toward modular, IoT-enabled and low-emission workplace systems that optimise employee comfort while supporting sustainability goals.
AFC is doubling down on this demand through sustainable manufacturing practices and recyclable product ecosystems. The company’s expertise in low-emission workplace infrastructure has already been demonstrated through landmark projects such as the furnishing of Noida International Airport/Jewar Airport, where AFC deployed over 6,000 low-emission furniture systems across nearly 1 lakh sq. m. of terminal and back-office space. The workstations delivered a recyclability rate of 66 percent with a cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of only 115.43 kg CO2e per workstation, supporting the airport’s net-zero ambitions.
The Karnataka focus complements AFC’s larger manufacturing and sustainability ambitions nationally. The company’s 4 lakh sq. ft. IGBC Gold-rated manufacturing facility currently produces over 18,000 workstations and ergonomic seating systems every month for marquee clients across sectors including IT, banking, aviation and infrastructure. AFC’s growing portfolio includes large-scale workplace projects for leading enterprises suchasHDFC, Honda, Indicube, Texas Instrument India, We Work, Vertax, Table Space to name a few.
As India’s first BIFMA Level® 3 certified furniture manufacturer, AFC Furniture Solutions now aims to leverage Karnataka’s commercial real estate boom to build a scalable blueprint for sustainable, high-performance workplaces across the country. _________________
