Coworking demand – views from Manas Mehrotra, Founder, 315Work Avenue

315Work Avenue currently manages around 3 mn sq ft space totalling around 60,000 seats across 45 prime locations in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune.

New Delhi, December 12, 2025: Coworking spaces are becoming a major force in reshaping India’s commercial real estate landscape. As organizations seek to create dynamic, future-ready workplaces, investing in high-quality, well-designed office spaces has emerged as a strategic imperative. Contemporary spaces with ergonomic layout, abundant natural light, and designated spaces for teamwork promote innovation, enhance employee satisfaction, and raise overall productivity. As these industries scale operations, attract global mandates, and drive innovation, they are increasingly opting for agile, future-ready work environments that offer scalability, cost-efficiency, and access to talent. Flexible space is no longer a cutting-edge trend in this sense; it is now the core of business strategy. With the shift towards hybrid work models and employee-centric workplaces, demand for premium, technology-enabled, and green office space is picking up steam.

Workplaces today are becoming active seekers of workplaces that accommodate their social and environmental agendas too. As competition grows and organizations place greater emphasis on employee well-being and operational efficiency, A-grade office spaces are set to play a defining role in the future of work. This trend is also being significantly fueled by the expansion of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), which have emerged as a major demand driver for the sector. While major metro cities have been the key markets for coworking spaces, there’s a growing demand in tier-2 and tier-3 cities too, making the market more diverse. As players in the flexible workspace sector continue to grow their footprint at record speed, it’s clear that organizations in all sectors now recognize agile real estate not as a temporary solution, but as a long-term strategic priority.
