Workspace solution provider Incuspaze has raised around $8 million led by the India Inflection Opportunity Fund (IIOF) and other financial institutions in its maiden funding round. This strategic investment will beef up Incuspaze’s capabilities to provide top-tier workspace solutions to enterprises, MSMEs, and startups, the company said in a statement. Incuspaze claims that it has a portfolio of 3 million square feet in 18 cities across 44 locations. The firm recently leased 220,000 square feet of space in Gurugram’s M3M Urbana project. Led by Sanjay Choudhary, the eight-year-old firm aims to expand its portfolio in southern India, with a focus on Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad. PhonePe, Byju’s, Flipkart, and Girnarsoft, among others are its top clients. For the fiscal year ending in March 2023 (FY23), Incuspaze reported a more than three fold jump in its operating revenue to Rs 50 crore against Rs 14.84 crore in FY22. During FY23, it managed to cut losses to Rs 98 lakh from Rs 5 crore. Incuspaze is yet to file its annual report for the last fiscal year (FY24). According to a June 2024 report by property consultancy Colliers, the flexible office space segment across the top-6 cities in India registered its highest ever quarterly demand in the April-June period. Bengaluru and Delhi-NCR alone accounted for 65% of the overall demand. In November last year, Pantomath Financial Services Group closed its pre-IPO fund called the India Inflection Opportunity Fund (IIOF) at $60 million. While Incuspaze has not commented on its IPO plans, the strategic money from the IIOF hints at a definitive public listing roadmap as the investment firm majorly invests in IPO-bound companies. In the co-working space, Awfis became the first Indian startup to get listed on the stock exchange. Recently, another co-working startup Smartworks took a step towards potential public listing and converted itself into a public company. Entrackr exclusively reported the development in the first half of July.
