Over 80% occupiers plan to expand through flex spaces in the next 3-5 years


·       ~60% occupiers to have at least 20% of their office portfolio in the form of flex spaces over the next 3-5 years

·       ~40% occupiers foresee flex spaces as centers of core business operations

·       ~45% occupiers prefer ‘core’ areas of major office markets for future expansion

Bengaluru, 07 September 2024: Reimagination of workplace, changing perceptions and enterprise-level offerings have been driving heightened flex adoption in recent years. These sentiments are echoed in our latest survey-based report Flex Spaces: Reshaping the New-Age India Office Market. The report highlights that over 80% occupiers prefer to expand their office portfolio through flex spaces in the next few years. Interestingly, large corporates have also been increasingly embedding flex space as a part of their real estate footprint. This trend of higher flex space adoption is mainly led by its inherent advantage of adding flexibility to real estate portfolio while providing sufficient wiggle room to manage costs. Benefits relating to enhanced productivity, spaces replete with tech & security features and sustainability only strengthens its business case. The growth in flex space endorsement is expected to be highest amongst multi-national companies (MNCs), with an anticipated 3-4X times rise from current levels by 2030.

With a significant rise in share of flex spaces in Grade A office space demand and changing occupier preferences, flex spaces have solidified their position in the India office market. As occupiers disclose their future portfolio expansion plans, the survey trends in the report are indicative of a high growth trajectory for flex spaces in India in the coming years. For the purpose of this report, the survey spanned across a varied spectrum of start-ups, MNCs and GCCs targeting senior management personnel including key decision makers in the areas of real estate, administration, corporate strategy, etc.

Key survey results -

About 60% occupiers to have >20% share of flex spaces in their office portfolios in the next few years. Moreover, about 30% occupiers prefer to have >40% share.

“With flex space offerings transforming from niche to mainstream, they are expected to increasingly define the contours of Grade A office space demand in India. As per the report, 60% occupiers are likely to have a flex share of 20% or more in their office portfolio over the course of next 3-5 years, up from the present 40%. Earlier flex spaces were predominantly occupied by start-ups. However, over the next few years, more than two-thirds of real estate expansion across occupier segments will be through flex spaces. Notably, over 80% of the expansion in technology, engineering & manufacturing and healthcare sectors, would be through flex spaces.”  says Arpit Mehrotra, Managing Director, Office services, Colliers India

Flex spaces emerging as centres of core business operations

Flex spaces are now being repurposed and fulfilling roles beyond support centres. With both cost arbitrage and enterprise-level offerings coming into play, occupiers are increasingly embracing flex spaces for their core business operations. About 45% and 35% of mid and large sized companies respectively are carrying out their core business operations in flex spaces. Notably, with increasing technology adeptness in flex spaces, about 40% of the technology sector occupiers are using flex spaces for core business operations.

“Workspaces have steadily evolved to become centres for collaboration, innovation, wellbeing etc. and flex spaces provide holistic solutions for the new-age workspace. With maturity of flex space market and enterprise-level services on offer, occupiers are amenable with relatively longer commitment periods as well. About three-fourths of the surveyed occupiers, including MNCs and large domestic occupiers, feel positively inclined for relatively longer commitment periods. Over the next few years, average commitment period for flex spaces can potentially reach close to 3 years, a significant increase from the typical lease agreements of less than a year in the pre-pandemic period. “said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director & Head of Research, Colliers India

Core areas of major cities continue to be the preferred areas for portfolio expansion

Location continues to be of significant importance to occupiers, with about 60% respondents considering it as the most important parameter for expansion. Interestingly, while expanding, occupiers are likely to lean towards flex spaces with attractive offerings in central areas as compared to facilities in peripheral areas. Going ahead, about 45% of surveyed occupiers would opt for future expansion through flex spaces in CBD/SBD locations of tier I or tier II cities. In terms of work-place strategy, flex spaces are likley to champion distributed work models. About half of the larger companies including Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and MNCs envisage flex spaces to act as both hub and spoke offices in the next few years.

Kamya Panjabi: Ganesh Chaturthi is a time when my home becomes like a temple


Kamya Panjabi on Ganesh Chaturthi: I love dressing in traditional Maharashtrian attire
Ganesh Utsav is a major festival in Maharashtra, filled with joy, music, decorations, and the sound of aarti. The festival’s spirit of unity and devotion is what makes it special. Kamya Panjabi, who stars as Mohini in Sun Neo’s Ishq Jabariya, shared how she celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi.
Kamya, who has been welcoming Bappa for more than 35 years, opened up about her love and devotion, saying, “During Ganesh Chaturthi, my home turns into a temple with colorful decorations and a special energy. We dress in fresh clothes, enjoy various sweets, and my mom makes prasad. She takes care of everything, from the food to the invitations. I love dressing in traditional Maharashtrian attire, including Nath (nose rings) and Veni (flower garlands). Even though I’m busy with work, I make sure to join the celebrations. Bringing Gauri Ganpati home is always exciting, and we look forward to the joy and blessings Bappa brings each year.”
The Ishq Jabariya actress further added, “For me, Ganpati Bappa is everything. I don’t need to ask for anything when He’s with us; just seeing Him makes all my worries go away. I always choose an eco-friendly idol, focusing on features like a big stomach, big ears, and a smiling face. No matter the form, I always feel His presence. The festival’s emotional connection is strong, especially when Bappa has to leave, knowing He will return next year. That’s the magic of Ganesh Chaturthi—it fills our hearts with love, hope, and peace.”
Ishq Jabariya, airing on Sun Neo, is a romantic drama about Gulki, a young woman with dreams of becoming an air hostess despite her cruel stepmother. Her journey is full of twists and may lead her to unexpected love. The show stars Kamya Punjabi, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshya Khurana.
Tune into Sun Neo to watch Ishq Jabariya, every Monday to Saturday at 7:30 PM.

The Courageous Journey of a Young GirlFighting for Her Community’s Freedom


~ Watch Asmi Deo as Jagriti and Aarya Babbar as the fearsome Kalikant Thakur in this riveting tale of injustice and resilience, starting 16th September 2024, Everyday at 8:30PM, only on ZEE TV ~

Mumbai, 6th September 2024: Picture this: a newborn baby, barely a day old, with tiny fingers dipped in ink, their prints stamped into police records — labeled a criminal before they've even uttered their first cry. Hard to imagine, right? Yet, this is the grim reality faced by the Chitta community, where a child's fate is marked even before they’ve had a chance to begin their life.

Drawing on audience insights from its innovative audience feedback initiative - Hamara Parivar, Zee TV breaks away from traditional storytelling moulds and transports viewers into a world rarely depicted on television, shining a light on an age-old system that continues to oppress the underprivileged. Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah, set in the fictional town of Mokshgarh in Jharkhand’s Jamtara district, delves into the deep-rooted systemic injustice that has condemned the Chitta community to a life of perpetual marginalization. Here, children are branded as criminals from birth, denied access to education, forced into hunting, and exploited by feudal lords who control the region with an iron fist.

Produced by Guroudev Bhalla Productions, Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah follows the courageous journey of 7-year-old Jagriti, a spirited young girl born into the Chitta community, who refuses to blindly accept the cruel fate imposed on her. Sharp-minded, hopeful, and resilient, Jagriti becomes the voice that questions the unfair branding of her people as criminals. With piercing eyes and boundless energy, she dreams of a future free from the shackles of this unjust system. Her relentless curiosity and unwavering sense of justice often land her in trouble, as she refuses to accept the norms that others have long resigned themselves to. Through her innocent yet powerful questions, Jagriti ignites a spark that will lead to a spirited struggle for the dignity and rights of her community. Young Asmi Deo is strikingly impressive as Jagriti and has been noticed ever since the show’s promo has hit air!

In a never-seen-before avatar, Arya Babbar returns to television after an eight-year hiatus, portraying Kalikant Thakur — the wealthiest and most powerful man in the village. Cruel, corrupt, and deeply misogynistic, Kalikant bribes the local police and forest officials to ensure his illegal operations run smoothly. Whenever his smuggling consignments are intercepted by the authorities, an innocent man from the Chitta community is framed to take the fall. Kalikant's authoritarian rule and ruthless exploitation of the community underscore the dark and oppressive world that Jagriti is determined to challenge.

Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer, Zee TV, said, “Having actively listened to our viewers via our innovative audience feedback mechanism – ‘Hamara Parivar’, we are taking them into a very different world rarely seen on television with our upcoming show Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah. The story strikes at the heart of systemic injustice through the lens of a young child belonging to an oppressed community branded as criminals at birth. Her innocent questions demanding only her basic rights will tug at viewers’ heartstrings, making them root for her. As Jagriti gradually evolves into a powerful voice of resistance, the show invites viewers to join her on a journey of hope, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. With a gripping storyline and standout performances, the show adds an interesting new flavour to Zee TV's vibrant content mix.”

Producer Guroudev Bhalla said, “I’m thrilled to team up with the team at Zee TV yet again on Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah. This gripping narrative delves into a world where a community is unjustly labeled as criminals from birth. Deprived of education and oppressed under Kalikant Thakur’s tyranny, the Chitta people face systemic discrimination. To bring their plight to light, we have some really strong actors on board and they’re packing in impressive performances. If the show sparks conversations about social inequality and its lasting impact on real lives, we will feel truly validated.”

Aarya Babbar said, “I’m excited to return to television with Jagriti: Ek Nayi Subah after an eight-year break. Working with this talented team has been a joy. I deeply immersed myself in my role, perfecting the dialect and body language. Playing Kalikant Thakur has been my most complex and compelling negative role yet. I’m eager for audiences to experience our powerful story.”

Asmi Deo said, Playing Jagriti has been a dream come true. This show stands out, and working with such a talented team has been a rewarding challenge. Jagriti is a girl of my age, but to see her being deprived of all the rights that I enjoy; makes me understand the unfortunate social discrimination in our society. It makes me value the opportunities that education provides. I’ve poured my heart into my character and can’t wait for everyone to see the magic we’ve created.”

Join Jagriti on her quest for justice as Jagriti - Ek Nayi Subah premieres on 16th September, airing every day at 8:30 PM, only on Zee TV.

Mumbai, India - September 06, 2024: One of the biggest indie music stars, Anuv Jain, the voice behind iconic tracks such as ‘Baarishein’ and ‘Alag Aasmaan’ recently delivered an extraordinary musical experience for his fans as he hosted a one-of a kind fan experience at antiSOCIAL, Mumbai which was also live streamed, in collaboration with Universal Music India and SOCIAL. This innovative event marked a milestone in the Indian fandom experience, bringing Anuv’s captivating sound to audiences across the nation.

In an unprecedented event, Anuv’s live performance was streamed simultaneously across 45+ SOCIAL outlets in nine cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Pune, Dehradun, Indore, and Hyderabad, offering thousands of fans a unique opportunity to experience his magic from their local venues.

SOCIAL venues across the country transformed into hubs of musical celebration as fans gathered to enjoy Anuv’s live performance in a setting that was both festive and intimate. The event offered a unique and immersive fan experience as fans had the opportunity to submit questions for a live Q&A segment where Anuv personally answered selected questions, adding an intimate and interactive touch to the evening. The connection didn’t end there – SOCIAL also curated custom postcards featuring the ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’ artwork, inviting fans to write heartfelt messages.

Adding an extra layer to the overall experience, SOCIAL crafted an exclusive drinks menu inspired by Anuv’s music, featuring cocktails like ‘Alag Aasmaan’ and ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’ among others, as well as mocktails like ‘Mishri’ and ‘Husn’. Fan art submitted over the years was also showcased across the venues, creating a deeper connection between Anuv and his fans.

Sharing his experience, Anuv Jain exudes, “I think this was one of the most amazing events I’ve been a part of. I’ve always wanted to do these intimate sets with my fans; so this event was a perfect blend of both – as I was able to sing live and at the same time connect with multiple-thousand fans across the nation, which was kind of crazy, but I’m so stoked to have done this. Before getting into it, I really didn’t know how the entire team would pull it off exactly, but the teams at REPRESENT, UMG and SOCIAL killed it with literally everything. I hope that I get the chance to do more of these events very soon. I’m so happy that we could create a moment like this where everybody could come together and celebrate ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’.”

Talking about building the fandom culture in India, Viral Jani, Chief Revenue Officer, Universal Music India and South Asia, shares “As I-Pop emerges in India, there has been an overwhelming growing appreciation for homegrown talent, revealing the untapped potential of fan engagement in the country. At Universal Music India, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between artists and their superfans. We are proud to have set a new benchmark by pioneering a first-of-its-kind,  groundbreaking experience, offering fans a money-can't buy experience opportunity to connect with Anuv Jain on a more intimate level, beyond his music.

Talking about bringing this overall event experience to life, Sidhantha Jain, Head of Marketing, REPRESENT says, “The ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’ experience was designed entirely with Anuv’s fans in mind, from start to finish, it had to feel personal, impactful, and above all, special. The track already had a destiny of its own, driven by fans who eagerly pushed for its release, we knew we had to do more than a standard "play a few songs and call it a day" event. It was about creating a space where fans could truly see themselves reflected in the music. And here’s the best part: it wasn’t just about fans interacting with Anuv, it was about them connecting with each other too.”

Talking about creating this experience at SOCIAL, Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer of Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd said, “At SOCIAL, we believe in crafting experiences that bring people closer to their favourite artists in ways that are truly unique and memorable. Partnering with Universal Music and Anuv Jain for the ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’ live experience was a testament to that commitment. This was not just a concert; it was a nationwide celebration of music, connection, and community that took place simultaneously across 45+ SOCIAL venues. It was a one-of-a-kind experience that allowed fans to immerse themselves in Anuv’s world and connect with each other in a setting that only SOCIAL could provide.”
