Coworking Spaces: The New Normal

Updated: Sep 16, 2023


Recently, Mint reported that coworking spaces are gaining popularity among businesses in India, with demand doubling in the past four years. Throughout the country, there are signs to indicate that the future of the traditional office is fast changing.


Cities like Bengaluru, NCR (National Capital Region), Pune, and Chennai are hotspots for offices that are adopting co-working spaces over traditional offices. A new report by JLL highlights that the co-working sector in India is expected to cross 50 million square feet by the end of the year 2023!


Given that the future of a traditional office is rapidly changing, employers are caught in a fix.

Should they adapt to the preferences of a rapidly changing workforce? Or should they stick to the traditional model that has worked for centuries for millions of people?


In a post-pandemic world, employee well-being has become a top priority. It's no longer just about having a gym or a few plants in the office. Employees are demanding more from

employers than just fancy desks, Sodexo coupons, stuffy cubicles, and breakout rooms. The

challenge for companies now is to retain their best employees whilst keeping costs down.


It’s no secret that traditional offices were designed to maximize efficiency, not employee well-

being. How else do you explain cookie-cutter cubicles, dull grey walls, and windowless meeting rooms? With the rise of co-working spaces, employers now have the option to move away from traditional office spaces and explore other options that may be cheaper and more convenient for all.
