The buzz of collaboration, the hum of innovation – India's offices are not just surviving but thriving. While the world debates the future of work, India has made its choice clear. JLL's Future of Work Survey 2024 reveals a striking statistic: 90% of organisations in India mandate at least three days in the office per week. Looking ahead, the story becomes even more compelling. By 2030, 54% of organisations expect to increase their in-office days, and two out of three anticipate their average lease tenures to grow. This is a powerful testament to companies’ betting on the long-term value of office spaces for fostering innovation, culture, and growth. To fully understand this transformation, let’s explore the exciting trends that are reshaping the future of work in India.
