Management Commentary
Arnav S. Gusain, Chief Supply Officer, WeWork India and CEO, Rivet by WeWork India, stated: "The definition of a prime business location is changing. As cities become more distributed, businesses are looking beyond the office building itself at how easily employees can move between where they live, work and spend their time. This is making well-connected, self-sustained commercial corridors increasingly important to workplace strategy. Whitefield and Wakad represent this shift in different ways - Whitefield brings the scale and enterprise ecosystem required for sustained growth, while Wakad combines proximity to a major employment hub with a strong residential and lifestyle ecosystem."
