For teams of 20 to 100, we help you move into a fully fitted, branded office in Bangalore, without the deposit, fit-out timeline, or facilities headache of a traditional lease. Built for your team, managed by someone else.
Somewhere around 25 to 30 people, per-seat coworking pricing stops being the cheaper option, and your team starts needing things a shared floor can't offer: privacy, a consistent home base, room to actually brand the space. But you're not ready for a bare shell lease either. A traditional fit-out for a 100-person office in Bangalore now runs ₹2.5 to 4.5 crore in upfront cost before the first employee is seated, once you count deposit, construction, furniture, and IT infrastructure, along with a four to six month wait just to move in.
A managed office sits in the gap between those two extremes. You get a private, fully fitted floor that carries your brand, with internet, furniture, HVAC, and facility management bundled into one monthly fee, for a deposit of one to two months instead of six to twelve. We help teams at exactly this stage, past coworking, not yet locked into a long-term lease, find the right managed space and negotiate terms that hold up as headcount keeps moving.
A managed office isn't a smaller version of a lease. It's the space built for the stage where growth is certain but the next five years aren't.

The right time to move into a managed office usually isn't about headcount alone. It's about the moment a shared floor stops matching where the company is actually headed.
Somewhere around 10 to 30 people, investor meetings and senior hires start noticing that a shared coworking floor doesn't quite match the company's momentum. A managed office solves that without requiring the long-term commitment of a bare shell lease.
At 30 to 100 people, the office needs to keep pace with hiring, not slow it down. A fully managed floor gives room to grow, reflects company culture, and avoids the four to six month wait a traditional fit-out demands.
When only part of the team is in Bangalore on any given day, paying for a fixed desk per person stops making sense. A managed office with flexible seating still gives the team a real, branded home base without paying for empty chairs.
Opening a second Bangalore office or a satellite team elsewhere shouldn't mean repeating the same months-long setup process. Managed offices let growing businesses add locations on a predictable monthly fee, without a facilities team of their own.
A traditional fit-out for a mid-size team can mean ₹50 lakh to ₹2 crore in upfront costs before anyone sits down. A managed office replaces that with a security deposit of one to two months and a single monthly fee, freeing up capital for hiring instead of furniture.
You get your own floor, your own branding, and access control that keeps your team separate from other companies, without the 3 to 5 year lock-in a traditional lease demands. Most managed agreements run 6 to 12 months.
As headcount moves, the space should move with it. Managed offices let you add seats within the same building or network as your team grows, instead of forcing a fresh negotiation every time you hire.
Internet, furniture, housekeeping, security, and maintenance are bundled into a single monthly fee, replacing what would otherwise be a pile of separate facility bills and vendor relationships to manage yourself.
Custom layouts, interior design, and your own branding are part of the package, not an afterthought. It's the difference between a shared floor and a space that reflects where the company is actually headed.
A traditional lease adds up fast once deposits, fit-out, electricity, and facilities staff are factored in, typically running 2.8 to 3.5 times higher per employee in year one than an equivalent managed setup. For most teams under 100 seats, managed offices are the cheaper option in real terms for at least the first three years.
Every managed office we work with is checked against the same standard, so your team gets a space that's actually run well, not just one that photographs well.

We start with your team size, growth plans over the next year, and what you actually need the space to do, private cabins, meeting rooms, or room to expand.
We narrow Bangalore's managed office market down to the handful of spaces genuinely built for your team size and budget, not everything technically available.
We coordinate and walk the shortlisted sites with you, so you see the actual space, the actual finish, and the actual neighbours on the floor, not a rendering.
We break down real seat pricing, lock-in terms, and what's bundled versus billed separately, so you're deciding on facts, not a sales pitch.
We work with the provider to finalize your branding, layout, and any custom touches, so the space looks like your company before your team ever steps in, not something you retrofit after moving in.
We help finalize the agreement and coordinate the move, so your team walks into a working office on day one, not a half-finished floor.
