Spaces is expanding to all Central Business district (CBD) locations worldwide driven by high demand from their customers. In India, the plan is to double the Spaces footprint in the next six to twelve months across the major cities. According to IWG Global Business Survey, 58% of employees in India, work remotely from locations other than one of their company’s main office locations and 95% believe flexible working helps their business grow by enabling employees to be more productive while on the move.

Domlur and Whitefield have emerged as a sought-after business hot-spot for the vibrant startup community that ranges from e-commerce, logistics, foodtech, home services, edtech, and other tech startups among others. Both the areas will also be a business hub for more established companies including older corporates, hotels and IT companies.

A report by Colliers, a global commercial real estate services company stated that India’s co-working space market is expanding exponentially and Bengaluru has topped the list by retaining a 31 per cent share followed by Delhi-NCR, which represents 18 per cent of the total occupier demand in 2017.
