Spread across 95,000 sq. ft. to accommodate over 1,200 members, CoWrks Worli is the seventh shared workspace of CoWrks in India.

Located within the 300-acre campus of Century Mills, the workspace has the advantage of being located opposite Kamala Mills – which houses over 40 of the city’s top restaurants, bars and lounges. The centre provides an unparalleled global workspace experience as it is surrounded by state-of-the-art social infrastructure and equipped with a range of premium amenities, such as a spacious yoga & dance studio, a state-of-the-art gym, a banquet hall and a unique F&B experience. Supporting CoWrks in its endeavour to create the largest coworking space at Birla Centurion is JLL, India’s largest real estate services firm, has played an integral role in advising the strategic collaboration.

With the vision to create Asia’s largest integrated network of premium coworking spaces, Sidharth Menda, Founder and CEO, CoWrks, commented, “A large part of Mumbai spend their evenings and weekends in and around Worli – hence opening at Birla Centurion was a natural fit for the CoWrks Community.” He added, “It is important for us to extend the CoWrks Community to Mumbai – not only offering our existing members a Mumbai address, but also to connect Mumbai’s entrepreneur community to the rest of the country through CoWrks.”

Commenting on CoWrks’ entry into the Mumbai market Ramesh Nair, CEO and Country Head JLL India said, “Coworking has been truly disruptive in recent times. Within a year we have seen significant growth in this alternate segment. Driven by the growing need to build communities, coworking spaces are shaping the future of workplace, especially in large metropolitan cities. Our research has shown that Mumbai has the highest potential for coworking space with over 1.25 million prospective occupants, majority of this latent demand is still unmet. CoWrks’ entry into Mumbai is an appropriate opportunity to meet this demand. It also highlights the company’s commitment and ambition to secure the best in this space. My best wishes to CoWrks in their journey towards bringing about this cultural shift in the working paradigm.”
