- Harsh Lambah, Country Manager-India, IWG PlcIWG Plc entered India in 2004, and since then, the company has built an unparalleled network of offices, co-working and meeting spaces across the country. With a network of 120 workplaces, operating in 16 cities, it is the only global player in India present in Tier-II cities as well. IWG Plc has constantly adapted the design palate and layout of its workspaces in line with latest trends, and according to the feedback from its customers. Harsh Lambah, Country Manager-India, IWG Plc, shares more...Tell us about Indian cities tapped and those on the anvil?In India, we are present in 16 cities including Lucknow, Jalandhar, Jaipur, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Indore Chandigarh, Kolkata, etc. 2019 will see us increasing our footprint in India and at the same time, improving our products and services for our clients. Our focus will be to not just expand in the major metros but also to take Regus and Spaces in tier II cities. We are looking to double our footprints in the country by 2020.How is the company looking at expansion and consolidating its market leadership position?2018 has been a phenomenal year for the co-working segment in India and we have seen a good number of players  come in the last year. At the same time, many players have also exited from the market due to sustainability issues. Smaller players do not have the bandwidth, hence consolidation will happen through acquisitions by a larger firm. Tell us about flexible working trends you are seeing in India.The co-working industry was the fastest growing sector last year. In India, the sector will play a strong role in shaping the future  of supply-demand dynamics by changing the way the service office industry works. Many start-ups and corporations prefer co-working spaces over conventional office spaces due to lower rentals, significant savings on real estate costs and a flexible work environment for employees. What benefits do flexible workspaces bring along?The flexibility and convenience provided in flexible workspaces help professionals to collaborate and expand, which cannot be done at a traditional office set-up. Big businesses benefit from offering their employees flexibility. Often, traditional office spaces can be quite introverted by nature. All businesses – from start-ups to multi-nationals – can gain cost benefits, increase their strategic flexibility, and be more agile in today’s fast-moving and competitive digital environments.   How are your workspaces designed for better productivity?Everything about our network is designed to help our customers control their costs, improve productivity and make their lives easier. At the heart of this approach are our apps, streamlining and simplifying every contact. Our commitment to providing a world-class digital infrastructure underpins our customers’ ability to work exactly as they want across the world, using our 60 million Wi-Fi hotspots and thousands of business lounges to be as productive as they possibly can be. We provide workplace solutions like scalable, flexible, outsourced office space, meeting rooms, disaster recovery, telepresence, video conferencing, executive suites, business lounges and co-working spaces.At Regus, we enable businesses to operate anywhere, without the need for set-up costs or capital investment.
