PIONEERING A NEW ERA OF WORKSPACES

In a rapidly evolving corporate world, the demand for adaptable and sophisticated workspaces is reshaping India's commercial real estate sector. At the forefront of this transformation is Samhita Dey, AVP of Real Estate & Design at Simpliwork Offices. With a forward-thinking approach, Samhita envisions outsourced office solutions not merely as spaces but as ecosystems designed to foster productivity, wellbeing, and innovation. In this exclusive interview, she shares her insights into the role of technology, sustainable design, and client-focused solutions in defining the future of workspaces in India. From post-pandemic shifts to her vision for Simpliwork's continued expansion, Samhita offers a compelling glimpse into the trends and strategies shaping the industry's next chapter.

How do you envision the role of outsourced offices evolving in the Indian realty sector?

As a young leader in the Indian realty sector, I believe outsourced offices will play a transformative role in the industry, through a sophisticated fusion of adaptive design and advanced technology. The role of these spaces will transcend traditional utility, evolving into environments that leverage behavioural analytics and deep learning. This evolution will enable workspaces that intuitively respond to employee needs, fostering productivity and well-being in ways previously unimagined.

For example, AI and data-driven insights will allow offices to optimise layouts, lighting, and even air quality in real-time based on user preferences, making workspaces more responsive and efficient. The design of outsourced offices will also remain dynamic, evolving with the times to balance innovation with timeless aesthetics.
