India

India is moving through a remarkable moment of growth and confidence. A young, tech-savvy population and one of the world’s fastest-expanding economies are reshaping the country’s real estate landscape at an extraordinary pace. Demand is accelerating across residential, workplace interiors, commercial offices, hospitality, data centers, and major transit infrastructure, from new rail stations to next-generation airports. A rapidly growing middle class is redefining expectations for quality, experience, and mobility, while a booming healthcare tourism economy is drawing global investment and elevating standards for medical and wellness environments. Combined with political stability and a deep pool of skilled talent, India has become one of the world’s most compelling destinations for ambitious design, development, and long-term innovation.

Co-living emerges as a viable residential alternative for urban millennials.

A new generation of urban Indian professionals interested in affordability and community fuels the rise of co-living, signaling an evolution of India’s ownership-centric residential market.

Competition for talent accelerates workplace experience design.

As a tight labor market heats up competition for talent, Indian employees, especially the globally exposed and values-driven younger generation, choose workplaces that offer meaning, comfort, community, and emotional resonance.

Hospitality and healthcare infrastructure booms.

Regional tourism, business travel, and medical care fuel a surge in hospitality and healthcare development. Global brands localize their offerings, and local brands diversify their holdings, while India’s affordability attracts medical tourists across Asia and beyond.
