Launching a Global Capability Center is already a long list of decisions hiring plans, technology stack, compliance, reporting lines back to headquarters. In twenty-plus years around commercial real estate, the one thing I’ve watched trip up more GCC launches than it should is the office itself. Not because good office space is hard to find […]

A decade ago, picking an office was a simple checklist. Find a decent location, negotiate the rent, buy some furniture and get on with it. Ask a business owner today what they expect from their workspace and you’ll get a very different answer. Will this space help us hire and keep good people? Can it

Early in my time working around commercial real estate in Pune, I noticed something that never quite made sense: businesses without a permanent office were still expected to somehow produce one, for exactly one hour, whenever a client meeting came up. A candidate needed interviewing. A board needed updating. A pitch needed a screen and

You have done it. Laptop bag, headphones, maybe a notebook you won’t open off to the café because you needed a change of scene or you just needed to get out of the house for a few hours. And for the first twenty minutes, it works. Then someone’s toddler starts crying two tables over, the

Ask any business owner what an office was for a decade ago and the answer was simply a place to put desks and get work done. Ask that same question today and the answer is already more complicated a hub for collaboration, a tool for hiring, a signal of brand identity, a space that has

If you’re working from a coworking space fewer than three or four times a week, a day pass usually costs less overall. If you’re in almost daily, a monthly membership works out cheaper per visit and adds a fixed desk, storage, and community perks a day pass doesn’t include. The exact break-even point depends on

Two teams can have the same headcount, the same tools, and the same targets and still collaborate completely differently, purely because of the room they sit in. One team’s ideas travel freely between desks and meeting corners. The other’s get stuck, because there’s nowhere to have a quick huddle without disturbing someone deep in focus
