As India’s coworking sector evolves, 91Springboard continues to adapt to the shifting needs of businesses, embracing trends that redefine how and where people work. In an insightful discussion, Sameer Singh, COO of 91Springboard, sheds light on the sector’s transformation and how the company responds to these changes.

Post-Pandemic Trends Shaping the Industry

The pandemic marked a turning point for commercial real estate, with coworking spaces emerging as a key solution to evolving professional needs. “The hybrid working format is becoming a key component of multiple business segments,” Singh observed. Other trends include a growing emphasis on community and collaboration, professionals seeking purpose-driven work environments, and companies prioritizing functionality paired with exceptional experiences.

91Springboard has taken these lessons to heart, offering tailored solutions for businesses at all stages. “Our scale is thought through and focused on creating something that works for all—whether it’s a cosy corner for a small team, a vibrant space for a growing SME, or an entire floor for a corporate giant,” Singh explained.

Changing Client Preferences

Businesses selecting coworking spaces increasingly value flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and strategic locations, but their expectations now extend beyond the basics. “Today’s occupiers are looking for holistic work experiences,” Singh noted, emphasizing the importance of hospitality-driven services. At 91Springboard, this means offering more than ergonomic workspaces and high-speed internet—it’s about creating environments that promote well-being, creativity, and productivity.

Coworking spaces are evolving to meet these demands as companies focus on professional and personal growth for their employees. Personalized services and seamless operations are becoming integral to the coworking experience, driving the sector forward.

The Shift Toward Enterprise Solutions

Coworking spaces in India, once primarily catering to startups, have expanded to serve diverse industries. BFSI, IT/ITeS, e-commerce, and Global Capability Centres (GCCs) are among the sectors now turning to flexible workspaces. “The pandemic accelerated this shift as enterprises recognized the advantages of flexible, scalable, and customized solutions,” Singh said.

At 91Springboard, this transformation has prompted the creation of dynamic ecosystems that cater to businesses of all sizes. By blending flexibility with premium amenities and exceptional service, the company ensures that organizations, whether startups or established global entities, can thrive in today’s fast-paced environment.

Balancing Short-Term and Long-Term Needs

While startups initially favoured coworking spaces for their short-term leases, the landscape is shifting. “With the rise of large enterprises, we’ve seen a growing preference for long-term, tailored office solutions,” Singh shared. This shift reflects the coworking sector’s maturity, with companies viewing flexible workspaces as a viable alternative to traditional offices.

However, short-term engagements remain essential, especially for agile industries like tech and e-commerce. 91Springboard’s ability to offer short-term flexibility and long-term solutions allows it to cater to businesses across various growth phases.

A Home for Every Organization

91Springboard’s mission is clear: to provide a home for businesses at every stage of their journey. By creating workspaces that combine flexibility, community, and innovation, the company empowers organizations to adapt, grow, and succeed.

As Singh aptly summarized, “We have a home for all phases of an organization’s journey—it’s all here!” This philosophy underscores 91Springboard’s role as a leader in India’s coworking revolution, adapting to changing trends while staying true to its core vision.
