Indian flexible space providers, such as Awfis Space Solutions, WeWork India, IndiQube, and Urban Vault, have experienced significant revenue growth since the pandemic. The demand for alternative workspaces closer to employees has risen among corporates, startups, and professionals. The flexible office segment, including co-working and managed workplaces, has witnessed expansion, with capacity additions of 8-9 million square feet each in 2022 and 2023. This growth has prompted many space providers to go public, including Awfis, Smartworks Coworking Spaces, WeWork India, Simpliwork Offices, IndiQube, and Table Space Technologies. Global capability centres, along with traditional IT services and business process management, are driving the demand for co-working and managed workplaces.
