Openhouse Launches New Centre in Bengaluru’s HSR Layout

Openhouse, a forward-thinking early education provider, has inaugurated its tenth centre in HSR Layout, Bengaluru, further expanding its presence across the city. This new facility has been introduced in response to increasing demand from families in the area, many of whom previously travelled to centres in Sarjapur and Indiranagar.

The HSR Layout centre spans 7,000 square feet and is equipped with a range of thoughtfully designed spaces, including makerspaces, art and music studios, sensory classrooms, sand and water play zones, and a comprehensive children’s library. The centre will accommodate over 200 children and will be managed by a team of 20 qualified educators, all trained to deliver Openhouse’s distinctive blend of creativity, care, and curriculum.

Founded in 2018 by Stanford alumni Yash Poddar and Akshay Rampuria, Openhouse is committed to reimagining early learning in India. With a focus on purposeful play and strong parent-child engagement, the organisation designs vibrant, multi-functional spaces for children aged 1 to 10. Openhouse currently operates across key Bengaluru neighbourhoods including Indiranagar, Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Sarjapur, HRBR Layout, Sadashivanagar, and Whitefield.

Commenting on the launch as a Bengaluru brand, Akshay Rampuria, Co-founder, said, “HSR Layout emerged as a natural choice for our next centre. While we considered several locations, HSR and Haralur aligned closely with our vision of fostering intimate, engaged learning communities. We are also preparing for a larger expansion in summer 2026, with plans to establish 5–10 new centres in cities such as Delhi, Gurgaon, Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, and Raipur.” 

Openhouse centres provide a comprehensive range of services, including preschool, daycare, after-school activities, weekend workshops, and holiday camps. Children engage in enriching experiences such as music, art, robotics, and theatre within a secure and nurturing environment, catering to the bangalorean culture While the curriculum is informed by global best practices, it is also adapted to suit local cultures and community needs, ensuring families feel supported and connected.
