In light of Stylework’s recent series A1 funding, Sparsh Khandelwal, the Founder and CEO of the company, shared, “The closing in of Series A1 has ignited the excitement of witnessing the growth cycle of the technological evolution of flexible workspace marketplace in India. There is no doubt that the co-working spaces’ membership architectures still need lots of bundling work. To scale it and significantly impact the coworking industry, in this amazing growing ecosystem in India, it needs our focused product’s attention to detail and deep integrations with our multiple supply coworking brand partners, and we will be diligently working towards the same.”

Headquartered in Gurugram, India, Stylework was founded in 2016 by Sparsh Khandelwal and has become a prominent player in the flexible workspace market, leading with a significant impact on the industry over the years. The company has expanded its partnered coworking supply presence from three cities to ten and further to 50+ cities and currently operates in 80+ cities. In the initial years of 2017-19, Stylework adopted the flex discovery platform approach, however as the decentralization of corporate offices amid the global pandemic raised the hybrid model’s growth from 3-5% to 25-30%, Stylework eventually launched its Corporate Product Suite in the year 2021, to disrupt & solve for the medium & large sized occupiers(companies) from a centralised dashboard platform.
