Smartworks Coworking Spaces, India’s largest managed office platform by area under management, has launched SmartVantage — a purpose-built solution to drive the next phase of Global Capability Centre (GCC) growth in India.

SmartVantage combines expansive, large-format campuses with a consultative approach and curated partner ecosystem, enabling GCCs to scale rapidly and cost-efficiently. Many campuses exceed 500,000 sq. ft. and can be customised to reflect each organisation’s identity. Leveraging Smartworks’ 12 million sq. ft. portfolio across 14 cities in India and Singapore, the solution ensures multi-city continuity and rapid delivery — with offices in campuses typically completed within 60 days.

“At Smartworks, we’ve always focused on creating campuses where people genuinely want to come to work,” said Neetish Sarda, Founder and Managing Director, Smartworks. “For GCCs, flexibility is critical — they need quick turnaround spaces with the ability to expand seamlessly as they grow, and our pan-India presence, speed to office delivery, and robust portfolio make that possible.”

Through curated partners offering expertise in legal, compliance, taxation, workforce, and innovation, SmartVantage enables GCCs to enhance operational resilience and unlock strategic value.

Smartworks currently serves over 730 clients, including GCCs, Forbes Global 2000 companies, and enterprises such as Google, EY, Persistent, Xoriant, and Discovery. With this launch, the company reinforces its leadership in the managed office segment, offering enterprises not just workspace, but a complete ecosystem for growth and innovation.
