With flex now accounting for a significant share of office absorption and demand being led by GCCs and large enterprises, we are seeing a clear shift towards managed, high-quality environments that offer both agility and control. Chennai, in particular, has emerged as a preferred destination for GCCs across IT/ITES, BFSI, engineering, and manufacturing, drawn by the city's strong talent pool and the need for scalable, cost-efficient workspace. Enterprise demand here requires solutions that combine speed, design, and operational excellence. Our managed office solutions are built to deliver exactly that, enabling companies to scale faster while optimising capital and maintaining a premium workplace experience.
India is now the largest flexible office market in APAC, with a stock of 79.7 million sq. ft. across the top eight cities as of Q2 2025. This is expected to surpass 100 million sq. ft. by, according to Cushman & Wakefield's Global Trends in Flexible Office 2025 report. Flexible workspaces are now a core part of enterprise real estate strategies. Notably, Global Capability Centres (GCCs) account for nearly 40% of new flex seat demand, while average deal sizes have doubled since 2023, as highlighted in myHQ by Anarock’s Indian Flex Office Operators Report Q3 FY’26.
