In an exclusive interaction, she shares her thoughts with BW Businessworld.

How has the flexible workspace culture developed in India?
In India, the need for flexibility over the traditional model of office leasing has always been there. Companies often looked for increased flexibility and agility, be it with scaling up or down their office space, modifying lease tenures, flexibility in pricing and access to a-la-carte services. The pandemic has helped in bringing this flexibility into the mainstream and has accelerated the adoption of flexible workspaces not just in India but across the globe.
