We're proud to share some big news: SonicHive has been honoured with the Superbrands 2025 Award for Workplace Innovation, recognising our acoustic pod solutions for their groundbreaking contribution to modern workplace design across the UAE. The win was first reported by Khaleej Times on 6 November 2025, and it's a milestone we're thrilled to share with the team, our partners, and every client who has trusted us to rethink how their offices sound and feel.
The Award
Superbrands is one of the most respected independent brand authorities in the region, and its annual UAE awards recognise organisations that have made a measurable, lasting impact on their industry. For 2025, SonicHive was selected for the Workplace Innovation category — a recognition of how our acoustic pods have moved from a "nice-to-have" amenity to essential infrastructure for offices across Dubai and the wider Middle East.
The Team Behind It
Awards like this are never won by a logo — they're won by the people who show up every day to design, build, and install the pods our clients rely on. SonicHive Directors Aneez Arakkal and Abbas Thirunavaya accepted the award alongside Operations Manager Bernadine Kamdin and Abdi Rahman Nooh, representing the wider SonicHive team across engineering, operations, and client delivery.
This recognition reflects our mission to elevate workplace wellness and productivity while shaping the future of adaptable, eco-conscious workspaces.
What This Recognition Means
When we started SonicHive, the goal was simple: give teams a way to reclaim focus and privacy inside open-plan offices, without the cost and disruption of construction. Years later, that idea has scaled into a full range of acoustic pods — from compact VRT solo booths to modular VR meeting rooms and weatherproof outdoor pods — installed in offices, showrooms, and co-working spaces across the UAE.
The Superbrands jury looks beyond product specs. They evaluate brand trust, market impact, and whether a company is genuinely changing how its industry operates. Being named a winner in the Workplace Innovation category tells us that the shift we set out to drive — from noisy, distracting offices to calm, adaptable workspaces — is being recognised at a regional level, not just by the clients who experience it pod by pod.
Where We Go From Here
This award doesn't change our roadmap — it confirms we're building the right thing. We'll keep investing in acoustic performance, sustainable materials, and faster installation, so that every new office, hotel, or villa in the UAE has a practical way to design for both wellness and productivity. If you haven't experienced a SonicHive pod yet, this is a good moment to start.
