What Smartworks does

Smartworks Coworking Spaces Limited (NSE: SMARTWORKS) is India's largest managed office platform by total area under management, operating 16.1 million sq ft across 66 centers in 15 cities spanning India and Singapore. Founded in 2016 by Neetish Sarda and listed via IPO in July 2025, the company runs an asset-light, lease-based model in which it takes long-duration master leases on entire buildings or large floor plates, fits them out into custom-designed offices, and sub-leases them to enterprise clients — primarily Global Capability Centres, Fortune 500 firms, and high-growth companies requiring mandates of 300+ to 1,000+ seats under 3–5 year contracts averaging ~47 months for large clients.

The company's core offering is its "Design.Build.Manage" managed office service delivered in 60 days, supplemented by a Technology Solutions platform for integrated property management and client experience, value-added services (cafeterias, gyms, crèches, medical centres, wellness centres), and large campus deployments. The recently launched Smartvantage product and the People 360D alliance extend the proposition beyond physical space into integrated GCC experience and talent services.

Revenue is generated through monthly rental payments under long-term enterprise contracts, complemented by value-added service fees. FY26 revenue of Rs 1,796 crore (31% YoY growth) was accompanied by the company's first full-year PAT profit of Rs 11 crore, reversing a Rs 63 crore loss in FY25, with FY27 contracted rental revenue already exceeding Rs 5,200 crore. With ~69% of rental revenue from 300+ seat clients, 770+ enterprise customers, and 93% committed occupancy on mature centres, the business model is anchored on long-tenor, high-value enterprise deals rather than transactional coworking.
