SMEs Driving Demand for Coworking Spaces in India

The Coworking ecosystem which was initially the go-to option for start-ups and freelancers has now become a prerequisite for SMEs. According to a recent report by the Confederation of Indian Industries and property consultancy JLL India, the biggest chunk of 10.3 million seats out of the total 12-16 million potential seats is ascribed to large companies. There is an equal divide of 1.5 million each amongst freelancers and SMEs. The smallest lot is formed by startups, at 100,000 seats, writes Sumit Lakhani - CMO, Awfis for SMEStreet.
