UK-headquartered workspace design firm Unispace expects its India business to reach Rs 350 crore in revenue by FY26, supported by a strong project pipeline and rising demand from global capability centres (GCCs), said Abi Roni Mattom, country director, Unispace India.
 
“With GCCs rapidly scaling in technology, life sciences, financial services and professional sectors, Unispace is already delivering transformative workplaces for several leading global enterprises. We are well-positioned to capture the next wave of large-scale GCC expansions across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and beyond. With a robust pipeline of enterprise opportunities, Unispace India is set to consolidate its leadership in workplace transformation and achieve its FY26 growth ambitions,” Mattom said.
 
GCCs have leased 100 million square feet across India’s top cities, with demand surging to 28 million square feet in 2025 and projected at 60–65 million square feet during 2026–27, according to a recent Colliers report.
 
To date, Unispace India has signed about 10–12 projects annually. Looking ahead, the firm aims to double its project pipeline in the ongoing fiscal year.
 
Unispace India, which has strategised, constructed and designed workspaces for clients such as HP, Takeda, The Executive Centre and BlackLine, records a client retention rate of 50–75 per cent annually. 
 
Commenting on client retention, Swatasiddha Majumdar, principal of strategy at Unispace India, said workplace design plays an important role in shaping employee experience, particularly in a Gen Z-driven culture.
 
“Interior design of workspaces plays an important role in client retention. Over the last 25 years, I have seen a shift. Factors like attrition, globalisation, feedback mechanisms and HR involvement have made organisations more sensitive to employee needs. Today, especially with Gen Z, the message is clear: if you want productivity, you must provide the right environment,” Majumdar said.
 
Unispace provides services for offices, laboratories, life sciences facilities, campuses, headquarters, hospitality and sports venues, and retail. With more than 5,500 projects completed, the firm has a presence in over 13 countries.
 
Unispace India, which currently operates offices in Bengaluru and Mumbai, plans to expand into Tier I cities such as Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi by 2026. It is also eyeing Tier II markets.
 
On Wednesday, the company unveiled its report Global Workplace Insights 2025–2026: A Moment of Clarity, which states that 98 per cent of Indian employees see the office as relevant by 2030, compared with 93 per cent globally, making India the most optimistic country about the office’s future. The findings are based on a survey of 5,231 full-time employees across 14 markets, including India, the United States, Singapore, Germany and Australia.
