Speaking on the new development, Harsh Lambah, Country Manager India and Vice President – Sales, IWG, said, “We are excited to further expand our footprint in the Uttarakhand region. In fact, Dehradun becomes the fourth city after Chandigarh where we have introduced HQ and this further helps strengthen IWG’s growing footprint in northwestern India. Uttarakhand is an important and growing tourist & business hub with great road, rail and air connectivity to Delhi and Chandigarh, and serves as the gateway to the popular hill stations and entire north- west region. The new center will offer a mix of flexible workspace rentals, including office spaces and office suites that can be rented on a short and long-term basis and customised as per client branding and layout.”

With explosive market growth as companies of all sizes adopt hybrid working for the long-term, it is predicted that 30% of all commercial real estate will be flexible workspaces by 2030. With International Workplace Group, partners are able to capitalise on this fast-growing sector, while being supported by International Workplace Group’s unparalleled experience. Hybrid working offers companies a significantly lower cost base with an average saving of US$11,000 (£9,000) per employee[i].

Conventional office occupancy will continue to fall as businesses require less traditional space and turn to flexible workspace instead.
