Smartworks Coworking Spaces Ltd has significantly expanded its footprint in Mumbai, securing 182,300 square feet of prime office space at "The Square" in Andheri East. This strategic move, finalized in February 2026, pushes the company’s total portfolio in India's financial capital past the 2 million square foot mark. The new facility is situated in a Grade A project developed by Lloyds Realty Developers. Located just 0.5 km from the Mumbai International Airport, the center is designed to meet the intensifying demand for managed office solutions from large-scale enterprises and Global Capability Centers. The Indian flexible office market is currently operating at a historic peak. National net absorption reached 61.4 million square feet in 2025, a 25% year-on-year increase. Mumbai specifically contributed 17 million square feet in gross leasing volume during this period. Demand remains robust as 78% of Indian businesses in the IT and finance sectors have now transitioned to permanent hybrid work models. Smartworks’ recent financial data highlights a successful growth trajectory. The company reported a 34% year-on-year revenue increase to 4,721 million INR in Q3 FY26. Notably, the firm achieved a milestone by turning PAT positive under Ind-AS standards for the first time, supported by a healthy 17.9% EBITDA margin. Enterprise clients now drive 90% of the company's rental revenue. A significant shift in the market is the rise of the "1,000+ seat" cohort, which now accounts for 36% of total revenue. These large-scale corporate occupiers prefer managed campuses over traditional leases to reduce capital expenditure and benefit from tech-enabled amenities. Market supply for flexible workspaces in India is projected to exceed 100 million square feet by the end of 2026. In Mumbai, average office rentals have firmed up, rising nearly 2% quarter-on-quarter. Prime micro-markets like Andheri East and BKC continue to lead this growth due to superior connectivity and infrastructure like the new Metro Line 3. Smartworks currently manages a national portfolio of 15.3 million square feet across 63 centers in 15 cities. With a committed occupancy rate of 92%, the firm is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing "flight to quality" as corporates consolidate fragmented offices into premium, managed environments.
