WeWork India Management Limited, one of the leading flexible workspace operators in the country, has raised INR 500 crore through a rights issue. The capital raised will primarily be used for debt repayment, reducing the company’s cost of capital, and furthering its goal of becoming debt-free.
The development marks a significant step in the company’s long-term growth strategy. “Over the past eight years, we have been focused on long-term, sustainable growth. With the recent successful completion of our rights issue, we are on the path to being debt-free. This underscores the trust and confidence our investors/shareholders have in our vision and strategy in India,” said Karan Virwani, Managing Director and CEO of WeWork India.
He added that the capital infusion would strengthen the company’s balance sheet and support growth initiatives, helping to solidify WeWork India’s position in the competitive flexible workspace market.
WeWork India operates across eight cities, offering over 1 lakh desks and maintaining strong relationships with landlords, International Property Consultants (IPCs), and members. The company provides workspace solutions catering to diverse business needs, from solopreneurs and start-ups to Fortune 500 companies, emphasizing quality and adaptability.
This fundraising effort highlights WeWork India’s focus on financial health and sustainable growth, as the company seeks to expand its footprint and reinforce its position in the dynamic co-working space sector.
