Managed Offices on Campus Level

90 days for your office.

Fully managed. India speed.

Around 10% of India’s office stock is already managed space, a share that would look extraordinary in most European markets, where managed offices are still treated as a pure flexibility tool rather than core enterprise infrastructure.

Operators like Smartworks are delivering at scale: 15.3 million sqft under management, 63 centres in 15 cities.

Two structural shifts worth watching:

The unit moves from floor to campus.

Operators no longer focus on a floor level in a multi-tenant building, but fully managed enterprise campuses to improvs unit economics, enabling longer contract terms, and giving multinationals a single accountable partner across cities.

Delivery speed as competitive advantage.

Standardised fit-out playbooks, tech-enabled facility management, and AI-powered space optimisation streamline the process from day one. Of course it still needs to be built, but I’ve seen office execution within a quarter myself.

US companies such as Nvidia or Google have adopted managed offices quickly. European corporates are slower, and I think there’s a structural reason for that:

Longer due diligence and planning cycles. When you can commit to a 3- or 5-year horizon, the total cost of a traditional lease most likely wins over managed office fees.

Execution is still faster compared to other markets, but you will have less flexibility, and more on your plate including CapEx.
