India's GCCs Prefer Co-working Spaces for Flexibility
Many Global Capability Centers (GCCs) in India are choosing co-working spaces.
These spaces provide flexibility and are easier to manage than traditional offices.
GCCs like them because they are scalable and require less upfront investment.
The spaces offer tech and management services, allowing businesses to focus on core work.
Although some GCCs may transition to larger office spaces, many view co-working as a long-term solution.
These spaces are evolving with features like cafeterias, gyms, and modern tech infrastructure.
Co-working spaces are favored by small and mid-sized GCCs in India for flexibility and asset-light model.
GCCs value ease of business, scalability, and minimal capital expenditure in co-working spaces.
Around 20-30% of GCCs are choosing co-working spaces, an increase from 5-10% previously.
Co-working spaces offer agile solutions and tech-enabled workspace management, appealing to GCCs.
GCCs are increasingly incorporating co-working into their long-term strategy.
