Why Electronic City Is Emerging as Bengaluru’s Next Coworking Powerhouse

Introduction: The Rise of Coworking in Bengaluru’s South Tech Hub

As Bengaluru cements its position as India’s startup capital, one of its oldest IT corridors, Electronic City, is re-emerging as a prime destination for businesses of all sizes. Traditionally known for its tech parks and global IT giants, Electronic City is now experiencing a surge in coworking spaces, providing entrepreneurs, freelancers, startups, and enterprises with an agile, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional offices.

In this blog, we explore the key reasons why Electronic City is becoming Bengaluru’s next coworking powerhouse, and how workspaces like GoodWorks Infinity Park are redefining flexible office culture in South Bengaluru.

1. Strategic Location & Infrastructure Growth

Electronic City’s strategic location on Hosur Road makes it easily accessible to both Bengaluru’s core and outlying areas. The area’s infrastructure has significantly improved in recent years, thanks to major projects such as:

• Namma Metro Yellow Line Expansion (expected to cut substantially commute times)
• Elevated Expressway connecting Electronic City to Silk Board
• Widened arterial roads and flyovers are improving local mobility

These infrastructure advancements are making Electronic City more appealing for businesses seeking accessibility without the traffic congestion of central Bengaluru.

2. The Shift in Workplace Preferences Post-Pandemic

The pandemic reshaped how we work. Remote and hybrid models now dominate modern work culture, pushing companies to reconsider their real estate strategies. Coworking spaces in Electronic City have gained popularity because they offer:

• Flexible leasing terms
• Customizable managed offices
• Cost-effective solutions for growing teams
• Community and collaboration opportunities

According to a report by Knight Frank, flexible workspaces are expected to occupy 10% of total commercial real estate in India by 2025. Electronic City, with its cost advantage and space availability, is a key beneficiary.

3. Access to a Diverse Talent Pool

Electronic City houses top educational institutions and training centers, including:

• IIIT-B (International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore)
• PES University (Electronic City Campus)
• Numerous coding and tech bootcamps

This ecosystem creates a steady pipeline of tech talent, making it attractive for startups, SMEs, and MNCs alike. Coworking in Electronic City allows companies to tap into this talent without having to relocate to central Bengaluru.

4. Cost Advantage Over Central Bengaluru

Leasing or buying commercial space in CBD areas like MG Road or Indiranagar can be prohibitively expensive. In contrast, coworking spaces in Electronic City offer:

• Lower per-seat costs
• More spacious layouts
• Premium amenities without the central city price tag

For example, a 10-seat office at a Grade A coworking center in Electronic City could cost 30-40% less than in Koramangala or HSR Layout.

5. GoodWorks Infinity Park: A Case Study in Premium Coworking

Located in the heart of Electronic City, GoodWorks Infinity Park is a flagship example of modern coworking excellence.

• Designer interiors with natural lighting and greenery
• Private cabins, dedicated desks, meeting rooms, and event spaces
• Cafeteria, creche, wellness rooms, and ample parking
• Enterprise-ready infrastructure for teams of 5 to 500

The campus also hosts networking events, founder meetups, and learning sessions, nurturing a thriving professional community in South Bengaluru.

6. Emerging Business Ecosystem in South Bengaluru

The Electronic City corridor is now home to:

• Startups in fintech, healthtech, and deeptech
• Regional offices of Fortune 500 companies
• Innovation labs, accelerators, and incubators

This rich business ecosystem adds to the attractiveness of setting up coworking hubs in the region, allowing smaller firms to collocate with enterprise-grade players and benefit from peer learning and shared services.
