Space Matrix, a global leader in workplace design and build consultancy, has announced
that it has delivered 5.98 million sq. ft. of office projects, impacting approximately 60,000
lives in India during FY25.

This milestone reflects a clear shift in how offices are viewed: no longer just a real estate
cost, but a space that drives performance and a critical lever for workplace ROI. At the same
time, India’s Global Capability Centres, the backbone of India’s US$58 billion workplace
future, are moving beyond back-office roles to become key hubs for AI, innovation and
digital growth.

There is a fundamental shift in the corporate landscape, with enterprises increasingly
leveraging the physical environment as a powerful tool for talent acquisition and
operational excellence.

An ISG 2023 study cautioned that nearly four in ten GCCs actually hinder employee
experience, resulting in a 39% engagement gap. For organizations scaling at speed, this
turns growth itself into a strategic risk. Space Matrix is addressing this challenge by
replacing traditional silos with future workplace design centred on human energy and
cognitive performance.

Gartner research shows that transitioning to a human-centric work design can increase
employee engagement by up to 51%, while decreasing employee fatigue by 44%.
“FY25 marked a period of consolidation where organizations replaced post-pandemic
experimentation with disciplined planning,” said Akshay Lakhanpal, CEO – India, Space
Matrix. “We are seeing a ‘Design Dividend’ where every square foot is optimized for
performance.

Delivering 5.98 million sq. ft. is a narrative of how brand experience and employee
experience have become the primary benchmarks for business success”.

Space Matrix brings its vision to life by transforming the workplace into a positive catalyst
where people thrive, businesses grow, and the planet is protected.
