India's Office Market Shifts to Coworking Over Traditional Spaces
A new report shows that most people looking for office space in India now want coworking rooms instead of regular offices.
The number of people searching for meeting rooms and virtual offices has gone up a lot.
Startups, freelancers, and remote workers are the biggest users of these flexible spaces.
Many companies also care about green buildings, so most popular office parks have environmental certifications.
Even people from other countries are looking at India’s flexible offices before they start working there.
75% of office searches in India now target coworking spaces rather than traditional office leases.
Demand for meeting rooms up 187% and virtual office searches up 99% since 2022.
Nearly 90% of coworking search demand comes from startups, freelancers, remote employees and distributed teams.
Green‑certified office parks account for 66.3% of total office search demand, with 122,500 annual searches.
