Six years ago, a bold vision took shape – a vision aimed at redefining the workspace experience into a hub of innovation, collaboration, and success. Can you believe it? It’s been an awe-inspiring six years since we set sail on this remarkable voyage we affectionately call The Address.

Time truly does fly when you’re in the business of redefining how we work and connect!

So here we are today, virtually popping champagne corks to commemorate the 6th anniversary of The Address. One of the largest coworking spaces that has not only stood the test of time but has also emerged as a beacon of excellence in the dynamic landscape of shared workspaces.

As we raise our glasses to mark this milestone, it’s not just a celebration of years passed; it’s a jubilation of the journey – from the very beginning to the triumphs we savor today. We’ve weathered challenges, nurtured a thriving community, and set new benchmarks in the coworking realm.

Get ready to join us on a stroll down memory lane as we reflect on the incredible story of The Address and its pivotal role in shaping the future of work.

We’re not here to be just a coworking space or a managed office space; we’re your perfect address, a spot crafted uniquely for every one of our clients. Why? Because for us, it’s about being the go-to place for all your needs. Picture it like finding the perfect spot in the city – that’s what we’re all about.

Inception and Vision

At the helm of this venture was our founder, Mr. Yash Shah, whose entrepreneurial spirit and foresight laid the foundation for something extraordinary.

So, rewind six years. Yash didn’t just stumble upon the idea of The Address; it was a revelation inspired by his journey with FlySpaces, Southeast Asia’s premier workspace booking platform. That stint wasn’t just a job; it was the playbook that set the stage for The Address.

The time spent navigating the intricate world of workspaces at FlySpaces became the compass guiding him toward a vision that would transform the landscape in Ahmedabad.

It played a pivotal role in fueling Yash’s passion for introducing coworking and serviced office spaces back home. 

The real aha-moment came when he noticed a significant gap in the market. Entrepreneurs were hungry for furnished offices, seeking a solution to the hefty capital expenditure, particularly challenging for startups. Moreover, the desire to free themselves from the hassles of maintaining such spaces was a common thread.

Seeing this gap as a golden opportunity, Yash charted a course. The idea was simple yet groundbreaking – Craft flexible workspaces tailored for the hustling businesses in Ahmedabad. The motivation was clear: provide innovative workplace solutions, ensuring that professionals could focus on what matters most – their work.

And on January 22, 2018, we made the idea of innovative collaborative workspaces a reality.

Fast forward, and here we are – The Address, offering premier workspaces to a mix of growing businesses, enterprises, multinationals, and freelancers.

Let’s put The Address in perspective by the numbers – a testament to our growth and the vibrant community we’ve built.

Spread Across 600K Sq. Ft.: The Address holds the distinction of being the largest coworking and serviced office space provider in Gujarat.

Companies Served 500+: Over 500 companies have found their home at The Address.

Ahmedabad Expansion: The company secures 1,10,000 sq. ft. of coworking space in Ahmedabad, striking two separate deals for 70,000 sq. ft. and 40,000 sq. ft., respectively.

“By the conclusion of 2025, I anticipate that coworking entities will occupy a substantial 70% of buildings in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.”— Yash Shah, Founder, The Address

Challenges

In May 2018, the first client closed the deal, marking a significant milestone for The Address. Little did we know, the world was on the brink of facing one of its most challenging times – the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, even in the face of adversity, The Address stood tall, providing clients with secure and adaptable office solutions.

Yash Shah takes pride in how The Address team navigated through the hurdles of the past few years. “In response to the pandemic, we swiftly implemented a plan prioritizing the health and safety of our employees, clients, and guests,” he affirms. The Address not only weathered the storm but emerged stronger.

The key to our resilience? A strategic shift towards flexible workspaces. As the world adapted to a new normal, The Address met the demand by offering private offices, team spaces, serviced meeting rooms, virtual office plans, and more.

Yash Shah emphasizes, “Flexible workspaces are a natural fit for the future of work. And we are well-prepared to seize the moment with our beautiful, white-labeled spaces designed to represent our clients seamlessly.”
