India’s coworking landscape is moving beyond plug-and-play offices towards highly customised, sector-specific environments that blend design, technology, security, and brand-building.

Leading operators like TableSpace, Awfis, IndiQube, WeWork, The Executive Centre, IWG, and more are offering bespoke solutions across industries — finance and technology to consulting and healthcare — while commanding premiums for flexibility and brand alignment.

Among Awfis’ 3,000-plus custom projects, a prominent one is a 165,000 square feet (sq ft) workspace for the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Mumbai. The key requirements from the occupiers were high security, confidentiality, and technology. The project ensured advanced acoustic engineering, biometric access, and sensor-based smart controls while achieving nearly 20 per cent lower operational costs.

“Awfis has been at the forefront of delivering bespoke, sector-aligned workspaces through its ‘design, build, and managed’ office solutions — each tailored to a client's unique operational model, culture, and brand identity,” said Amit Ramani, chairperson and managing director, Awfis Space Solutions.
