Managed office provider Incuspaze has fully acquired coworking brand TRIOS in a cash-and-stock deal to strengthen its presence in Pune. Meanwhile, Zerodha founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath invested ₹250 crore in InCred Holdings, highlighting growing confidence in India’s tech-led, scalable financial services.
Incuspaze Bolsters Pune Presence with TRIOS Acquisition
In a strategic move to expand its footprint in one of India’s most promising coworking hubs, managed office provider Incuspaze has acquired Pune-based TRIOS. The acquisition was executed through a cash-and-stock deal, though the financial details remain undisclosed.
The company expects a 10–15% increase in topline revenue, moving closer to its ambitious ₹350–400 crore revenue target for FY 2025–26. “This acquisition will not only expand our regional footprint but also drive cost efficiencies and customer experience standardisation across all locations,” said the founder and CEO of Incuspaze. “We see TRIOS as a natural cultural and strategic fit.”
With Pune emerging as a key destination for startups and hybrid enterprises, the move underscores Incuspaze’s strategy to tap into the rising demand for flexible workspaces in tier-1 and tier-2 cities.
Market Momentum Grows for Flexible Workspaces
The Indian coworking sector is witnessing robust activity, with consolidation and regional expansion becoming a dominant theme. The TRIOS deal reflects an industry-wide trend where established players acquire niche operators to gain local market share, improve operational efficiency, and standardise service delivery across cities.
For Incuspaze, this acquisition is a step toward scaling managed offices while retaining a customer-first, tech-enabled model. The Pune market—driven by IT, BFSI, and education—is expected to see double-digit demand growth for coworking solutions over the next two years.
Zerodha Founders Invest ₹250 Crore in InCred
In a separate but equally significant development in the Indian startup ecosystem, Zerodha co-founders Nikhil and Nithin Kamath have picked up a minority stake in InCred Holdings Limited, the parent company of InCred Financial.
According to media reports, the investment amounts to ₹250 crore (approximately $29 million). The move is a vote of confidence in India’s evolving digital credit landscape.
“India’s credit ecosystem is changing fast—more formal, more digital, and more accessible,” said Nikhil Kamath, explaining the rationale behind the investment. “Backing [InCred] is a bet on that broader shift—and the belief that responsible lending can scale without losing sight of fundamentals.”
India’s Work and Finance Ecosystems Evolve
Incuspaze’s acquisition of TRIOS and the Kamath brothers’ investment in InCred highlight the rapid transformation of India’s workspace and fintech ecosystems. While real estate tech players focus on flexibility and operational agility, fintechs are doubling on digital-first, scalable lending models.
As consolidation and capital inflow reshape both sectors, industry watchers expect continued innovation, investor interest, and strategic alignment across verticals in the coming quarters.
