According to Amal Mishra, the founder of Urban Vault, flexible workspace has become an essential part of the overall real estate portfolio for corporations. The company is witnessing a significant shift towards managed office spaces due to the numerous benefits they offer, such as cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and a range of amenities. Mishra added that Bengaluru's availability of affordable real estate and a pool of skilled talent make it an attractive destination for corporates looking to enter the Indian market. Among the major cities in India, Bengaluru stands out for its robust infrastructure and business environment.
The demand for flex space is particularly strong with the rise of multi-national companies setting up Global Capability Centres (GCCs) across major Indian cities. This has led to an increased demand for Grade A office space. Urban Vault, a self-funded managed workspace solutions provider based in Bengaluru, currently has over 20 lakh square feet of office spaces and more than 30,000 desks in its portfolio. Approximately 1.5 million square feet of this space is located in the central business district. The company is also planning to expand to Gurugram in the upcoming quarter and has its sights set on Pune and Mumbai.
Urban Vault operates on both a pure rental basis and a revenue share model, leasing office spaces from property owners. The company offers desks at a competitive rate of INR 8,000 to INR 10,000 per month. During the financial year 2023-24, Urban Vault reported a turnover of over INR 100 crore and a net profit of 18%, with an occupancy level of 91% in its operational centres.
As more multinational companies establish Global Capability Centres in India, the need for high-quality, affordable office spaces continues to grow. Urban Vault's ability to provide managed office spaces with a range of amenities and services positions it well to meet the evolving needs of the corporate real estate market. With plans to expand to other key cities, the company is poised to become a leading provider of flexible workspace solutions across India.
