The IPO will raise around $303 million, which is one of the biggest listings in India's flexspace space.

TEC becomes peer with firms like Awfis, Smartworks, and Wework India in terms of raising capital from public markets since the industry is projected to grow 15% yearonyear to $9 billion in 2028.
Strategic Context:
-
TEC operates in 16 countries and 36 cities, and has over 51,000 customers globally. India is now among its fastestgrowing markets, with 26% contribution to global EBITDA.
-
It has also been investing heavily in India, adding more than 300,000 sq ft in 2024 and investing Rs 180 crore in Q1 2025 alone to expand in Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru.
-
TEC in India has an average occupancy of 92% due to demand from IT, BFSI, and GCCs.
Market Outlook:
-
Investors are expecting robust investor appetite driven by TEC's profitability, premium positioning, and access to India's booming flex workspace market.
