1. How has demand for flexible office solutions evolved recently, especially among enterprises vs. startups?
Demand for flexible workspaces has accelerated sharply across both enterprises and startups. While startups continue to adopt co-working for its cost-efficiency and scalability, enterprises are increasingly shifting toward premium managed office setups to avoid long-term lock-ins and operational overheads. At SpazeOne, we’ve seen strong interest from corporates, GCCs, and high-growth companies seeking ready-to-move, fully serviced spaces across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. Our network of 22 centres and 7,500 workstations reflects how larger organisations now prioritize agility, multi-city presence, and employee experience making flexible offices a mainstream corporate strategy.
2. Hybrid work is widely discussed — what real behaviors are you seeing in how companies are actually using office space?
While hybrid work remains a talking point, most companies are now gravitating toward structured in-office routines that balance flexibility with collaboration. We see teams using office spaces for purposeful interactions meetings, brainstorming and client engagement while relying on breakout zones and common areas for creative exchanges. Many enterprises prefer managed offices with dedicated cabins, private suites, and collaboration zones that support both focused and team-driven work. Our centres are designed with meeting rooms, lounges, and tech-enabled environments, reflecting how organisations want flexible layouts that can adapt to evolving work patterns without compromising productivity or culture.
3. What do you see as the key advantages of the Office-as-a-Service model over conventional long-term leasing?
The Office-as-a-Service model removes the challenges of traditional leasing—long lock-ins, high capex, and operational burdens—while offering companies flexible, fully managed, plug-and-play workspaces. At SpazeOne, this model is strengthened by key advantages highlighted in our portfolio: flexibility to work across centres, scalability aligned with business growth and cost-effective setups that eliminate overheads like security, maintenance, and housekeeping. Our spaces ensure utmost privacy and are located in prime, highly sought-after addresses. Added benefits such as ergonomic design, triple-layer security, fresh air circulation, women’s care facilities and 24/7 operational excellence create a seamless, premium workspace experience across cities.
4. How important is workspace design and environment in influencing employee productivity, collaboration, and satisfaction?
Workspace design plays a central role in shaping employee well-being and performance. Today’s workforce seeks environments that inspire creativity, facilitate collaboration, and offer comfort throughout the workday. At SpazeOne, every centre is intentionally built with premium design, ergonomic furniture, breakout lounges, women’s care facilities, and recreational zones including gaming areas to promote a balanced work experience. Bright, open layouts and well-equipped meeting rooms support focused work as well as team interaction. The results are clear: thoughtfully designed spaces enhance productivity, boost morale and help attract and retain talent in an increasingly experience-driven workplace culture.
5. With real estate costs rising in major Indian metros, how do you see corporate workspace strategies changing over the next few years?
Corporates are reassessing their workspace strategies by prioritizing flexibility, cost optimization, and multi-location accessibility. As metro rentals rise, many enterprises are shifting part of their operations to high-quality centres in Tier-2 cities an area where SpazeOne has a strong presence across Kochi, Calicut, Coimbatore, and Trivandrum. Companies increasingly prefer managed offices to avoid upfront capital expenditure and ongoing operational costs. Over the next few years, we expect a hybrid geographic approach: premium hubs in metros paired with cost-efficient satellite offices, supported by flexible workspace operators offering unified service standards across cities.
6. What was the original vision behind SpazeOne, and how does it differentiate itself from other co-working brands in India?
SpazeOne was founded with a clear vision: to create collaborative, design-led, and accessible workspaces that eliminate operational complexity for businesses. What differentiates us is our focus on premium yet affordable offices in prime locations, supported by a system-driven, service-first operating model. With 5.5 lakh sq. ft. across 21+ centres, we provide enterprise solutions, private offices, co-working setup and virtual offices tailored to diverse needs. Our world-class amenities, consistent quality across centres, and strong presence in high-growth Tier-2 markets set us apart, making SpazeOne a preferred partner for startups and large enterprises alike.
7. Looking ahead, what are the biggest challenges and opportunities you anticipate in scaling SpazeOne across different cities and customer segments?
India’s growing preference for flexible, tech-enabled, and design-focused offices presents a major opportunity for SpazeOne, especially in emerging Tier-2 cities where companies seek premium workspace experiences at accessible costs. As we expand beyond our 22 centres and 8,000 workstations into markets like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Madurai, maintaining consistent service quality and operational excellence becomes crucial. Key challenges include rising real estate prices, competitive expansion, and ensuring seamless delivery across multiple locations. However, with strong landlord partnerships, a customer-first model, and a systems-driven approach, SpazeOne is well-positioned to scale across enterprises, GCCs, and high-growth startups.
