91Springboard Launches Chennai Hub, Expands National Presence

18 Jul 2025 CW Team

The new hub brings the company’s total offering to around 30,000 desks across over 1.5 million sq. ft. of space in India. This expansion aligns with Chennai’s growing commercial real estate market, which has seen record-high leasing activity driven by IT, BFSI, and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). As per an industry report, Chennai’s total office stock stood at over 89 million sq. ft. as of December 2024 and is expected to exceed 100 million sq. ft. by 2026.

Guindy, one of Chennai’s most active business districts, was selected for its strategic location—just 7.6 km from the airport and well connected via rail and metro. The micro-market is seeing strong demand from corporates due to proximity and scalability.

“Chennai marks an exciting new chapter in 91Springboard’s journey. As demand grows for agile, innovation-led workspaces, our Guindy hub offers a mix of ready-to-use offices and built-to-suit spaces tailored for today’s dynamic teams. Our core focus remains delivering frictionless, office-as-a-service solutions so our clients can stay focused on what matters most—their business. We’re not just expanding; we’re partnering in Chennai’s growth story and building for the future of work,” said Anshu Sarin, CEO, 91Springboard.

The company’s model caters to a wide range of businesses through two formats—flexible, ready-to-use seating and custom-designed, premium offices. This dual-pricing approach provides scalable and cost-effective solutions suited to different enterprise needs.

With its presence in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Gurugram, Noida, Pune, Goa, and now Chennai, 91Springboard continues to redefine the flexible workspace experience with a focus on design, community, and innovation.

Located at Etica Malar-Aurum, the centre offers ~400 seats and features both ready-to-use private suites and customised built-to-suit workspaces.The new hub brings the company’s total offering to around 30,000 desks across over 1.5 million sq. ft. of space in India.
