Frequently asked questions
Is coworking cheaper than renting an office in Hyderabad?
For small teams and short horizons, almost always. A conventional lease needs a 6–10 month deposit, ₹2,000–3,500 per square foot of interiors and a 3-year or longer lock-in. Over 5 years or more, and for 50+ seats, leasing and fitting out your own office is usually cheaper per seat, but riskier.
How much office space does each employee need?
Hyderabad offices typically plan 60–90 square feet of super built-up area per seat, including meeting rooms, a pantry and circulation. Dense open-plan layouts use about 60; offices with cabins and large meeting rooms use 90 or more.
What is the rent for office space in HITEC City?
Grade A office space in HITEC City, Madhapur, Gachibowli and the Financial District typically rents for about ₹70–110 per square foot a month on super built-up area, plus maintenance, before interiors. Older buildings and other areas cost less.
