Bengaluru | Mumbai: Co-wor-king, a western concept that invol-ves various individuals or startupssharing a common workplace envi-ronment, is slowly catching onacross prime Indian property mar-kets. At a pan-India level, co-wor-king space of 0.73 million sq ft wasabsorbed last year.
“Though still very nascent, this ca-tegory could prove to be a disruptoras bigger co-working players suchas WeWork enter India and moresuch facilities prop up across citi-es,” said Ramesh Nair-CEO & Co-untry Head, JLL India.
In terms of the number of seats av-ailable, around 9,600 are available atco-working facilities across the co-untry. Out of the total absorption,Mumbai sprung a surprise with thehighest absorption nationally, follo-wed by Delhi-NCR, Kolkata, Benga-luru, Chennai, Pune and Hydera-bad. Delhi-NCR and Mumbai led theway in terms of seats available andwere followed by Bengaluru andKolkata, JLL India said.
Hyderabad, which has a first-of-its-kind incubator space called theT-Hub, also has 750 seats. Currently,there is very limited supply of co-working spaces, but once the situa-tion improves, the demand scenario
is also expected to transform.“Companies can make savings of
up to 20-30% by working in a co-wor-king space. Additionally, they canavail benefits of a new-age workpla-ce along with plug-and-play ameni-ties which are at par with grade-Aoffices. At Awfis, our offering goesbeyond desks and our communityengagement initiatives and allian-ces provide a very productive eco-
system," Sumit Lakhani, CMO atAwfis Space Solutions, which has7,500 seats spread across 21 centresat present.
The clientele includes small and me-dium-sized enterprises, start-ups, fre-elance professionals, consultants,corporates, etc. Firms wanting to getmore agile are open to housing theirinnovation teams in such facilities.Some client-centric companies lookat making some of their key teams sitclose to client sites. Bigger companiesand corporates are slowly realising
that collaborative work spaceswith open areas can boost emplo-yee productivity and help attractas well as retain talent.
"An anchor occupier can bene-fit from co-working spaces pro-vided that the occupier'scorporate culture, valuesand beliefs align with thecreative and entreprene-urial community withinthe space. A large enter-prise would be able to le-verage a high energywork atmosphere, andthe vibrant CoWrksculture that may besynonymous withan already exis-ting culture wit-hin a faction oftheir teams," sa-id Sidharth Men-da, CEO,CoWrks.
According toJLL, given the inhe-rent risks in running a co-working space, certain operatorsare looking at ways to mitigate therisk by preferring to lease out theirentire area in a good location, or abig chunk of it, to companies orcorporates.
Such ‘anchor tenants’ can helpthem get a fixed income stream evenas start-ups and freelancers bring in
somewhat unsteady revenues. In the long-term, however, consoli-
dation among co-working operatorswill occur, as not all of them will be ab-le to mitigate the risk in their busi-ness models or have deep pockets tosurvive for long in non-prime loca-tions with cheaper rents. Only a hand-ful of big players are expected to even-tually remain.
