To set up its presence in India, China‘s e-commerce firm Alibaba rented 30 seats in a flexible office in Bangalore. The deal for the dedicated seats or private studios is with co-working community venture CoWrks one of the largest commercial real estate developers in the country.
Sidharth Menda, CEO at CoWrks, said many corporations have been rethinking their real estate strategy to now include working out of CoWrks. Bangalore-based data tracking firm Tracxn says that currently there are 61 sites where co-working spaces are available in India of which 16 were set up last year. Start-ups and e-commerce firms opt for such spaces to keep overheads low, reports the Economic Times.
