In a move that signals strategic continuity and bold growth ambition, Awfis Space Solutions Ltd. has announced the elevation of Sumit Lakhani as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This transition marks a pivotal chapter in Awfis’ journey as it scales to meet the evolving demands of the future of work.
Lakhani’s new role will see him overseeing profit and loss, day-to-day operations, and customer-first initiatives, alongside leading sales, marketing, and supply acquisition. His appointment reflects a natural progression, built on years of stewardship and a front-row seat to Awfis’ transformation from startup to industry leader.
Meanwhile, Amit Ramani, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, will continue to guide the company’s strategic vision. Ramani will focus on new business initiatives, expansion plans, and innovation-led services like Awfis Transform (Design and Build), while also overseeing critical functions such as Finance, HR, Legal, and Administration.
“This leadership transition is a significant step forward in our journey of scaling Awfis into a futuristic, world-class organisation,” Ramani shared.
For Lakhani, the promotion is both a milestone and a mission. “I am truly honoured to take on the role of CEO at such a pivotal moment in Awfis’ evolution,” he said. “From our early days as a startup to becoming India’s foremost flex workspace provider, it’s been an incredible journey. I look forward to building on our legacy and unlocking new opportunities that shape the future of work in India.”
Lakhani brings a strong foundation in financial strategy and operational execution, having held leadership roles at Yes Bank, ST Asset Management, and Tesco before joining Awfis.
