Incuspaze, India’s emerging flexible working space platform, raised $8 million (approximately INR 67 crore) in its first funding round. It was the round headed by the India Inflection Opportunity Fund with the involvement of other financial organizations.
Incuspaze embraces sustainability and has ensured that aspects of the environment have been enhanced to include the use of efficient lights, waste disposal, and proper use of green products in buildings.
Strategic Investment
The infusion of capital is expected to strengthen Incuspaze’s capacity to offer premium workspace solutions for enterprises, MSMEs, and start-ups. The founder & CEO of Incuspaze, Sanjay Choudhary, further asserted that this would help Incuspaze in a big way to cater to the burgeoning demand for co-working spaces.
India Inflection Opportunity Fund was involved in the funding round that was successful in proving the viability of coworking spaces and the relevance of flexible workspace in the contemporary economy. In this light, Incuspaze, which is already aligned with the principles of innovation and customer-focused business, is likely to become an important player in the ongoing transformation of workspaces in India.
Expanding Footprint and Market Dynamics
Incuspaze currently operates with about 3 million sq ft in 44 locations across 18 cities. The company has been on an expansion spree in the recent past and has recently availed a space of 220,000 square feet for leasing at Gurugram’s M3M Urbana project on Golf Course Extension Road. This comes after 600,000 square feet of space was leased in June in three cities due to increasing demand for flexible working space.
The coworking space industry has been on the rise as more companies embrace a flexible workplace model. Due to the COVID-19 impact, there is an increasing need to work remotely and in the hybrid model, thus increasing the need for coworking spaces. Incuspaze has placed itself in a strategic place to benefit from this trend of flexible workspace solutions that meet the different needs of the business.
