WeWork, an American co-working giant, has opened its first community workspace in India called ‘WeWork Galaxy’ in Bengaluru.
The New York-based collaborative workspace firm, valued at about $17 billion, said it is targeting two new centres in Koramangala and Whitefield, and has plans to set up operations in Mumbai and Delhi.
“We want to strengthen our communities here as we enter new markets,” said Ole Ruch, managing director, WeWork Asia-Pacific. WeWork’s Bengaluru centre is equipped to cater to 2,200 members.
The company aims to reach out to start-ups, freelancers, small and medium enterprises and large corporates.
