Awfis has strengthened its roots in Tier II cities by expanding its operations in Kochi. Awfis’ marquee centre in Kochi is spread across 38,000 sq. ft. and is located in Mezhukkattil Matrix, Chittoor Road.
In line with the company’s aim to meet the burgeoning demand for workspaces in Tier II markets across the nation, the centre in Kochi comprises 650+ seats and boasts of contemporary, cutting-edge interiors with a balance of warmth and minimalism and modern amenities.
Speaking on the launch, Amit Ramani, Founder & CEO, Awfis, said, “We are excited to strengthen our foothold in the South market with Kochi as the city is still at the onset of welcoming branded coworking players. Being one of the earliest entrants in the market, Awfis is hopeful to have an initial stake in the claim and sees an immense opportunity to expand and cement its foothold in the city.”
The Awfis environment provides a unique amalgamation of different workstyles while providing the company’s employees with amenities and benefits such as meeting rooms, a well-designed collaboration area, a multi-cuisine restaurant, concierge service along with full hygiene and safety measures.
“Awfis’ foray in Kochi is a testament to the growing demand for flex workspaces in Tier II markets as Indian Corporates, and MNCs facilitate hybrid working and work near home for employees. Thus, we are optimistic to offer corporate and startups the right infrastructure to leverage the available talent pool in these emerging cities”, said Sumit Lakhani, Deputy CEO, Awfis.
In line with its expansion plans in emerging metros, Awfis intends to establish a strong network in Tier II cities in the coming months.
At the back of strong demand for flex workspaces, Awfis has now built the largest coworking network in the country with 150 centres and 88,000 seats across 17 cities and will continue to strengthen its foothold across India to establish a network of 200 centres by end of 2022.
