WeWork's Bankruptcy Won't Affect India Operations - CEO

WeWork, the renowned co-working space provider, recently assured that its bankruptcy filing in the United States will have no impact on its operations in India. The CEO of WeWork, Sandeep Mathrani, emphasized that the company's India operations are on a steady recovery path and remain unaffected by the bankruptcy proceedings suffered by its US entity.

WeWork's India operations, which started in 2017, have exhibited impressive growth since their inception. As per Mathrani, the company's performance in India has been encouraging, with demand for flexible office spaces continuing to rise, particularly from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Despite facing certain challenges due to the ongoing pandemic, WeWork India is reportedly witnessing a strong rebound in occupancy rates. Mathrani assured stakeholders that India remains a significant market for the company, and it will continue to invest in expanding its presence across major cities in the country.

Mathrani further highlighted that WeWork India has implemented various safety measures and enhanced cleaning protocols in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures, including regular sanitization, temperature checks, and adherence to social distancing norms, have contributed to maintaining a safe working environment for its members.

In addition to the growth of its core co-working business, WeWork India is also focusing on diversifying its offerings. The company plans to introduce new business verticals, such as "WeWork All Access" and "WeWork On Demand," which cater to the evolving demands of its customers in a post-pandemic world.

The company's India operations currently span more than 34 locations across major cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Hyderabad, and Pune. WeWork India aims to increase its presence by adding six to eight locations every year, signaling its long-term commitment to the Indian market.

While the bankruptcy filing in the US has raised concerns about WeWork's global operations, the company's assurance regarding the safety of its India operations should provide reassurance to both its existing and potential clients. With its strong recovery and commitment to growth, WeWork India aims to continue providing entrepreneurs, startups, and enterprises with flexible and dynamic workspaces suitable for their evolving needs.
