Commenting on the launch, Karan
Virwani, General Manager at WeWork, India, said “We are very excited to enter Gurugram with
the launch of WeWork Bristol Chowk today. Whether you need a desk, office suite, or entire HQ, we create
environments that increase productivity, innovation, and collaboration for
teams of any size. As per a recent
study by JLL, the coworking segment in India is expected to receive $400
million investments by 2018. We
have received great response from the market and we expect to reach 100%
occupancy by April 2018.” He further added, “Our plug-and-play offices
make it possible for start-ups, entrepreneurs and established businesses to
focus on success and growth while we take care of everything else.”
Ryan Bennett, General
Manager at WeWork, India
spoke on the unique design narrative, “All artwork at WeWork Bristol Chowk has
been hand painted by WeWork’s Art & Graphics team. The art in the space has
taken inspiration from the history of Delhi and is connected to the roots of
the city and nearby areas. The artwork near the Hot Desk and Dedicated Desk areas
are inspired by Lodhi Gardens - a historic park situated in central Delhi that
spreads over 90 acres. The Maruti car artwork peeking into the ground floor
from the first-floor corridors is inspired by Maruti Suzuki India Limited who
had established a manufacturing plant in Gurgaon in the 1970s, which was one of
the main reasons for the city’s economic growth back then. Inspiration for the
artwork in the game zone comes from Doordarshan, India’s largest and oldest
broadcasting organization which had its humble beginnings in Delhi”.
There has been a macro shift toward a new way of
work - one focused on a movement towards meaning and WeWork is accelerating
this movement. With the launch of WeWork Bristol Chowk, the company
will provide space for 7,000+ members across India. With our growing community
in India, WeWork enables companies to grow together in the local communities of
each building, and in the global community of the Member Network. By fostering a symbiotic relationship amongst
our members, no other platform has the global scale, localized community
experiences and support that WeWork has been able to create and offer.
