Awfis Space Solutions Limited, India’s largest flexible workspace solutions provider, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing 100 centres across South India. The company’s southern portfolio now spans more than 3.1 million square feet of workspace area, with a total seat capacity exceeding 70,000 across major cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kochi.

Awfis serves over 3,400 clients in India, with 64% being multinational corporations, 25% small and medium-sized enterprises, and the remainder comprising start-ups and entrepreneurs. The strategic positioning of these centres in prime commercial hubs, IT parks, and business districts underscores the sustained corporate demand for flexible workspaces. Bengaluru remains the largest market, followed by Hyderabad and Chennai.

The company has seen strong traction from Global Capability Centres (GCCs), hosting premium clients such as ABC Fitness, Meltwater, and Zinnov in its Elite and Gold centres in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Awfis works with over 80 unique GCC clients, who contribute 21% of its rental revenue, highlighting the segment’s growing importance. Nationally, Awfis operates in over 250 centres across 18 cities, offering more than 175,000 seats.

Amit Ramani, CMD of Awfis Space Solutions Limited, commented on the milestone: “Crossing the 100-centre milestone in South India reflects the strong structural demand for flexible, premium workspaces in the region. Cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai have become global hubs for technology and innovation, and we are proud to support this growth through our Elite and Gold centres. South India will continue to be a key pillar of our growth strategy as we expand our presence in high-potential business districts and emerging commercial hubs.”

South India has become a pivotal hub for GCC-led office demand, with Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai driving a significant share of national GCC absorption and leasing activity. Awfis’ client base in the region predominantly includes AI-led and technology companies. The company’s integrated design and build expertise, having delivered approximately 3 lakh square feet of space across South India, enables it to offer customised, enterprise-grade workspace environments tailored to specific operational needs. This capability, combined with its curated portfolio of Elite and Gold centres, positions Awfis as a preferred flexible workspace partner for global and domestic businesses.
