3M India Adopts Flexible Workspaces With New Headquarters At WeWork Prestige Central In Bengaluru

WeWork India, the leading flexible workspace provider, today announced that the Indian subsidiary of global technology giant 3M has signed a deal for their headquarters at WeWork’s Prestige Central building in Bengaluru. 3M has chosen WeWork as its headquarters, starting May 2021 for about 400 employees, offering them the benefits of flexibility, while also providing the comfort of a contemporary workspace. With enterprises forming over 60% of WeWork’s member base, this deal reaffirms the potential created by the consistently rising demand of flexible workspaces amongst enterprises.

3M India has taken a 17,000 sq ft area of flexible workspace at WeWork’s Prestige Central facility, for a 2-year period. Fully furnished, this offers 3M employees an entire floor located in central Bangalore. With this, employees are ensured an easier transition back to the workplace, with the added benefits of WeWork’s amenities such as health and safety measures, technology support, conference rooms, parking, common areas and such. WeWork also offers access to a sense of community, culture, and networking opportunities, which is in sync with the emerging back to workplace trends. With work from home blurring the boundaries of work life balance, coupled with limited social interaction and inadequate infrastructure, WeWork’s offerings provide customised workspace solutions packaged into one easy membership fee. 

Santosh Martin, Chief Revenue Officer, WeWork India, said, “Meeting the ever evolving needs of our members lies at the heart of WeWork’s diverse portfolio of flexible workspace offerings. In recent times we have seen an increased demand from all businesses, especially leading enterprises such as 3M who have recognised the inherent value offered by the flexible workspace model. We are delighted to welcome them as members to the WeWork family and look forward to a long term partnership. At WeWork, our efforts are always streamlined to offer superior business solutions to our members with a nod to flexibility and collaboration.”

Sandhya Ganapathy, 3M India Head of Corporate Communications, Security and Real Estate said, “Keeping in mind the rapidly evolving dynamics around the concept of the workplace, we at 3M India took bold and decisive action to move into WeWork . This arrangement offers convenience and flexibility for our people, in a contemporary and safe environment. As more employees hopefully return to the workplace in the coming months, we are excited to experience this new workplace model and further refine it, consistent with our company’s inclusive and innovative culture.”
