Milestone #1: Onboarding Marquee Customers
Our single biggest achievement was onboarding several elite customers including large enterprises, unicorns, and fast-growing startups. These prominent brands chose CoSqrd as their trusted partner to manage their growing flexible workspace needs across India's bustling cities.
Winning their business is a testament to our operational excellence and ability to address complex hybrid work requirements with agility. Our top-notch client roster acted as a magnet, attracting more leading companies looking for a proven flexible space platform. It established CoSqrd as a formidable player that can serve the most demanding brands flawlessly.
Milestone #2: Expanding into 45 Cities
In keeping with our nationwide growth strategy, CoSqrd expanded aggressively into 45 cities across India. From major metros to emerging Tier 2 cities, our widening footprint provides clients access to thousands of spaces - coworking offices, business centers, managed offices - wherever their distributed workforce is located.
With presence across urban and rural centers, we transformed into India's largest flex space aggregator that can address hybrid work needs across any geography. Our nationwide presence also positions us strongly to serve large enterprises with teams spread across the country.
Milestone #3: Winning the BW Realty Award
The esteemed BW Realty Award for the Best Flex Space Aggregator validated our rapid expansion and leadership. This recognition from experts proved our pioneering work to create India's largest flex space platform is generating impact. Such credibility helped attract more clients and partners looking for a proven flex space specialist. The award inspired us to continue aggressively innovating to cement our position as the number one flexible workspace provider enabling India's work revolution.
Milestone #4: Forged Partnership with a Large IPC
Our significant partnership with a marquee International Property Consultant has helped us take a full-stack real estate solution to enterprise customers. We succeeded in addressing intricate requirements showing our consultative approach.
Delivering on such large tailored partnerships highlights our readiness for complex clients. It is a testament to our team's expertise in flex space advisory and ability to create customized solutions. This paved the way for more such large deals from major enterprises with unique needs.
Milestone #5: Evolved into Higher Order Problems Solver
In 2023 our platform graduated from purely aggregating spaces and being a booking platform to solving higher order workspace challenges related to hybrid work.

Milestone #7: Achieved A Listing of 3000+ Spaces
A key operational milestone - crossing 3000 workspaces - expanded our options dramatically to meet diverse client needs. But such a wide base is useful only if spaces can be seamlessly booked. Hence we integrated our platform with top providers like WeWork and AWFIS for smooth booking.
