Kochi: Leading co-working space provider SpazeOne has launched its operations in Kochi meeting the co-working aspirations of the new crop of employees and employers, especially in the post-pandemic phase.

The co-working center which has come up at 5,000 sq ft space at Abad Nucleus Mall, Maradu, is part of the ambitious plan of SpazeOne to set up a number of co-working spaces in the three major cities of Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Kozhikode.

SpazeOne has already acquired 70,000 sq ft space in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram with facilities for over 1000 co-working stations to function. The Abad Nucleus Mall facility is the first in the first phase rollout. All work stations have luxurious ambiance coupled with high-end infrastructure which includes leased internet connectivity and power backup. At the Abad Nucleus Mall facility, there are two multipurpose halls that can accommodate up to 1000 people at a time.

The state-of-the-art workspaces have all elements to pamper the new generation workforce. They include meeting rooms, conference rooms, cafeteria, and entertainment areas for the employees to work and relax. The building has over 350 car parks.

Mr Zackeria Usman, Chairman, Abad Group, along with Mr Anwar Hashim, MD, Abad Fisheries, inaugurated the center on Thursday (March 17) in the presence of Dr. Najeeb Zackeria, MD, Abad Builders, among others.  

“Organisations are bringing back their employees to workspaces after a long break of two years of the pandemic. Co-working culture is becoming increasingly popular nowadays due to the flexibility offered by the operators of the spaces. With the evolution of co-working spaces, setting up a new office has become hassle-free for employers including startups,” said James Thomas, Director- Marketing, SpazeOne Solutions.

 “These modern offices are cost-effective when compared to the traditional offices. They offer flexibility and scalability, responding to market dynamics. Large organisations can expand at a faster pace as co-working operators take care of their infrastructure requirements in all major Indian cities,” said James Thomas.

Sijo Jose, Director, property acquisition, said that SpazeOne Solutions is planning for nearly Rs 20 Cr investment during the 2022-23 financial year. “The operations in Thiruvananthapuram sand Kozhikode will be started soon,” he said.
