Our Story
Awfis Space Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (‘Awfis’) is the leading flexible workspace solutions company in India. Recognizing the pressing need for well-equipped offices at an affordable rate with flexible tenure and security deposit options, Awfis was founded in 2015. Our inception was fuelled by a vision to address the demand in India for value-driven offerings with high-quality infrastructure in key micro markets and central business districts. At Awfis, we offer a network of flexible coworking spaces, where our clients can seamlessly book and utilize workspaces tailored to their requirements. Diversity is at the core of our approach, and our goal is to deliver tailored solutions that meet the varied needs of our diverse clientele, spanning different demographics, seat cohorts, and industry sectors.
Within our suite of flexible workspace solutions, we offer Awfis Space Solutions, Awfis Transform, and Awfis Care. Our integrated platform strategy addresses modern workspace requirements by backward integration with Awfis Transform, providing design and build services, and forward integration with Awfis Care, delivering facility management services on behalf of space owners.
The Space Solutions segment, our flagship offering, encompasses co-working solutions and enterprise solutions. Co-working offerings are designed for those seeking ready-to-move workspaces, while our enterprise solutions cater to businesses requiring customized office setups. We take pride in offering Awfis Gold, our flagship premium workspace solution, strategically situated in Grade A buildings across key micro markets in Tier 1 cities.
Our Network
Awfis has always focused on offering value to our customers, and it is this customer-first approach that has made us a preferred workspace of choice for corporate India. Our large network of spaces pan-India ensures that our members can focus on driving their business forward by working from any of our centres across major micro markets and CBDs in 16 cities. In a strategic move in 2018, Awfis initiated its expansion into Tier 2 cities. This foresighted approach enabled us to not only fortify our presence but also played a pivotal role in facilitating Fortune 500 companies to establish their footprint and set up dedicated centres in burgeoning Tier 2 cities such as Jaipur, Indore, and Nagpur. This early expansion demonstrated our commitment to providing high-quality workspace solutions beyond metropolitan areas. The diversity within our community, comprising 2100+ companies, underscores our proficiency in catering to a wide spectrum of businesses—from established Fortune 500 corporations to burgeoning startups. We are committed to continuous adaptation and evolution, aligning seamlessly with the ever-changing trends in the business landscape.
