The fully serviced office spans more than 15,000 sq. ft. within the LEED Gold and Green Mark Gold certified Manulife Tower and is designed to serve enterprises ranging from high-growth businesses to Fortune 500 companies and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). The centre features bespoke design and fit-out, ergonomic furnishings, private meeting suites and dedicated collaboration zones tailored to enterprise needs.

The company continues to be the only homegrown and listed flexible workspace provider from India with an international presence. The expansion forms part of a broader growth momentum that includes recent financial milestones.
