What role do you see flexible workspaces playing in the future of work? How do you see your business evolving in the next 5-10 years?

Monaah M Shuklla: The future of work is changing, and flexible workspaces are playing a significant role in this transformation.

The flexible office space market is expected to grow by an average of 15% per year globally, and the number of flexible space operators is predicted to double in the next five years.

By 2030, it’s estimated that flexible office space could account for 30% of corporate real estate portfolios.

This growth is driven by the increasing demand for flexible workspaces from businesses of all sizes, from startups to large corporations.

Flexible workspaces offer a range of benefits, including agility, cost savings, and access to a professional work environment without the long-term commitments of traditional leases.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of flexible workspaces, as companies look for solutions that allow for remote work and social distancing.

In the next 5-10 years, we plan to multiply our centers by 5 times, expanding to new locations and offering even more innovative solutions to our clients.

However, we are not impatient in our approach, and we understand that building sustainable growth takes time and strategic planning.

Our focus is on delivering exceptional value and services to our clients, and we are committed to continuing to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing needs of the market.

With the increasing demand for flexible workspaces, we are confident that we can continue to grow and thrive in the years to come.
