The company’s shares have delivered an impressive return of around 100 per cent to its shareholders.
In a major expansion, India’s largest flexible workspace provider has won a mandate to design, build, and manage over 1.65 lakh sq ft of office space for the National Stock Exchange (NSE) at Adani Inspire, located in Mumbai’s bustling Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). This agreement covers two floors of the 10-storey commercial property, strategically situated with easy access to the Aqua Line of the Underground Metro and Bandra suburban station.
This collaboration highlights the provider’s commitment to delivering high-quality, customized workspace solutions that cater to clients’ evolving needs.
