“Simpliwork Offices was evaluating the most strategic location for launching their first office in Pune. Basis our advice and market intelligence, Simpliwork chose Viman Nagar due to low vacancy and limited future supply of Grade A projects. Occupiers today prefer versatile operators, who can offer complete CapEx and flexible OpEx solutions, thus, enhancing employee experience. Owing to its proximity to the airport, upcoming metro, huge residential catchment and established social infrastructure, Viman Nagar continues to be a sought-after destination for MNCs as well as large Indian corporates,” said Sanjay Bajaj, Managing Director, Pune, JLL.

“We are excited to have found an office space that fits our needs so well. We appreciate the hard work and due diligence carried out by the JLL team. Viman Nagar’s unique ecosystem gives us access to world-class infrastructure as well as skilled manpower,” said Kunal Walia, Founder and CEO, Simpliwork Offices.
