The global financial crisis made it mandatory for corporates to bring in efficiencies in space management. The important trends that impacted the corporate world were Capex and a thriving start- up ecosystem. Moreover, the growing demand from freelancers, consultants and corporates led to co-working spaces growing like never before. Supplemented by the needs and wants of the new generation, the budding popularity of such spaces is expected to only increase further.
Co-working spaces, today, are not confined to small businesses or start-ups. Even large corporates are gung-ho about the concept and occupy a significant share of the pie. The flexibility intertwined with superlative amenities and a community driven ecosystem are attracting occupiers to co-working spaces. In fact, co-working space is rapidly emerging as a vital player in the commercial real estate sector of India. According to the estimates, there are approximately 325 to 330 co-working operators in the top seven cities in India. Some of the major players dominating this space include WeWork, Awfis Space Solutions, The Hive, CoWrks etc.
