To meet the rising demand for hybrid workspaces, co-working space provider Awfis has launched a new centre in Kolkata sprawling 13,000 square feet (sq ft).
The new centre is located at Rashbehari Connector close to E.M. Bypass and will add 13 centres to the company's co-working portfolio in the eastern city.
"We are thrilled to expand our presence in the east with our Acropolis centre launch given the incredibly high demand for flex spaces in a city which is emerging as the next destination for global firms. Awfis hopes to be recognised as one of the market's pioneers and sees a tremendous opportunity to grow and establish its presence in the city of Kolkata," said Amit Ramani, Founder & CEO, Awfis.
Awfis’ expansion in Kolkata is a testament to the growing demand for flex workspaces in metropolitan cities as Indian corporates and MNCs are increasingly opting for hybrid working and work near home models for their employees, added Sumit Lakhani, Deputy CEO, Awfis.
The centre was launched by dignitaries such as Angshuman Bhattacharya, Founder, SIBIA Analytics and Consulting Services, Naman Shah, Founder & CEO, NowPurchase, Hari Balasubramanian, Angel Investor, Ex TiE President, Ramani and Lakhani.
Currently, Awfis has a coworking network with 150 centres and 88,000 seats across 17 cities and the company said it will continue to strengthen its foothold across India to establish a network of 200 centres by mid-2023.
