RESHAPING INDIA'S BUSINESS LANDSCAPE

The convergence revolution brought on by smart buildings and future-ready workspaces.

- Ajit Kumar

Imagine stepping into an office that anticipates your needs, optimises your environment and seamlessly adapts to changing work patterns - all while minimising its carbon footprint.

This isn't science fiction; it's the reality of smart buildings and future-ready workspaces. As we stand at the intersection of technological innovation and evolving work cultures, a revolution is underway.

Future-proofing India's existing commercial real estate assets have never been more urgent. Approximately 62% of Grade A office stock across India's top seven cities require significant upgrades. So, we're looking at INR 450 billion in investment opportunities. But this isn't just about keeping up with the times, it's about unlocking value all - occupiers, investors and the environment.

Smart buildings

Smart buildings leverage cutting-edge technologies to create spaces that are more efficient, sustainable and user centric. AI-driven systems, IoT integration and advanced analytics have become key enablers of performance optimisation and predictive maintenance. Take AI-optimised HVAC systems for example. They come with predictive maintenance capabilities, driving significant operational cost savings while improving indoor air quality. Similarly, IoT-enabled occupancy sensors allow for real-time space utilisation analysis, enabling more efficient use of resources and informing data-driven decisions about workspace design.
