From Bengaluru to Singapore, Smartworks is shaping India’s shift from coworking to managed campuses — spaces built for scale, speed, and smarter ways of working.
If the past decade was about finding space, the next one is about making space work smarter. Across India’s business hubs, a quiet transformation is underway. Office buildings are no longer just static assets; they’ve become flexible workspaces designed to grow with a company’s goals.
At the heart of this change is the managed office model — built on speed, efficiency, and simplicity. Traditional leases once meant companies renting empty shells and managing everything from design to daily operations. Managed offices flip that script. They offer custom-built, fully serviced, tech-enabled spaces that are ready in under 60 days, making the move from idea to office almost seamless.
Take Smartworks, for example. It is India’s largest managed office platform. The company partners with developers to lease entire buildings, not just floors, and turns them into branded campuses for businesses of all sizes. In Bengaluru, its Vaishnavi Tech Park campus spans nearly 700,000 sq. ft., housing thousands of professionals from diverse teams. In Mumbai, Smartworks recently leased over 557,000 sq. ft. at Intellion Park, a landmark Tata Realty development that’s shaping up to be Navi Mumbai’s largest IT park.
Smartworks’ fully managed offices or campuses mark a clear shift from the coworking spaces of the past. They combine the flexibility of modern workspaces with the reliability and scale enterprises need — offering plug-and-play offices for every team, from technology and finance to R&D and global capability centres.
Each Smartworks’ large campuses are a small world in itself — cafés, gyms, wellness zones, childcare facilities, medical centres, and collaboration areas come together to create a sense of balance and belonging. For employees, these are spaces that inspire creativity and community. For businesses, they’re custom-managed offices that reflect their brand identity, values, and culture.
Behind this transformation lies a disciplined operational rhythm. Every new campus follows a tested playbook — designed, fitted, and delivered quickly, while maintaining consistent quality across 14 major cities in India and Singapore. For clients, it means predictable timelines, transparent pricing, and the ability to scale across markets with ease, all under a single contract.
The benefits of managed offices go far beyond convenience. Flexible workspace solutions are now a key factor in attracting and retaining talent. Today’s workforce values environments that are designed for people, not just productivity. Natural light, open layouts, ergonomic furniture, and amenities that support well-being are no longer luxuries — they’re expectations.
India’s office market, now crossing the 1 billion sq. ft. mark, is being reshaped by this very idea. The managed campus model offers the agility global businesses need without compromising control, helping them focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
Listed on India’s stock exchanges in July 2025 with a market cap of ₹6,500+ crore, Smartworks manages ~12 million sq. ft. of campuses across India and Singapore with a simple goal -to build tech-enabled, custom-built office spaces that evolve with the enterprises they house. Efficient, scalable, and thoughtfully designed.
