Bengaluru: Rent fire in IT hub

Most of the fires have taken place in India’s Silicon Valley i.e. Bengaluru. Annual office rent in IT hub area like Whitefield 20% There has been a record increase. The return of IT company employees to office and the demand for special kind of office space for hybrid work culture has sent the rents skyrocketing here.

Why is there such an uproar?

There are three big reasons behind this huge increase:

1. End of ‘Work from Home’: Most companies have called their employees back to office.
2. Demand is high, supply is low: New buildings are not being built as fast as companies need offices.
3. IT and finance sector boom: Both these sectors are hiring heavily and they need big offices for their employees.

It is clear that this fight will not subside until there is a flood of new office projects in the market. Till then, companies will have to be prepared to dig deep into their pockets.
