WeWork India announced the opening of two new buildings in Pune and Bengaluru respectively. The workspace at WTC Pune spans over 55,000 sq feet, and the newly opened Embassy Sunriver in Bengaluru spread across over 61,000 sq. feet. The new buildings have been launched to collaborate with leading developers like Panchshil and Embassy REIT. WeWork India witnessed over 65% occupancy at the buildings on the day of opening, which is a testament to the rising demand for flexible workspaces across the country, and its increasing value among renowned developers.
Recognized as India's fourth operational World Trade Center, WTC Pune is the hub for international business and is conveniently located in the centre of Pune’s Eastern IT Corridor. It is easily accessible and provides members access to world class amenities while creating a conducive work environment. Occupying the 6th and 7th floor, this newly opened WeWork workspace has a unique still life mural and allows for plenty of natural light to enter the office spaces. The building is designed to maximise the use of space and is finished in black marble with touches of regional folk art and local elements inspired by Pune architecture. It brings to life the city’s rich culture, a mix of thriving youth and heritage colonial buildings.
The commute to Sunriver is easy as it is conveniently located inside the Embassy Golf Links, one of Bengaluru’s largest IT business parks. The centre of India's high-tech industry, the city is home to professionals from all spheres of life. Sunriver is designed with a focus on retaining the character of the existing building with inspiration derived from the culture of the city and classic elements of nature. Various furniture made by local artisans and a cricket pitch has been integrated to add vibrancy to the space. The workspace maintains the WeWork design aesthetic while preserving the authenticity of the building and customising member requirements.
Commenting on the announcement of these new workspaces, Karan Virwani, CEO of WeWork India, said, “As India witnesses an increased adoption of hybrid work models with the gradual return to work, we are excited to announce the launch of two of our buildings, Embassy Sunriver and WTC. Our innovative approach has made a significant impact in revolutionising the flexible workspace ecosystem in India, thereby, encouraging its adoption among the future workforce. With the launch of our two new spaces, we reaffirm our commitment to long term expansion and growth. We will continue to play a key role in providing the finest locations to our member community while developing the flexible workspace landscape in India.”
