In addition to resuming platform operations, WazirX has announced plans to create a decentralised exchange (DEX). This action is intended to assist in compensating users who suffered losses totalling INR 2,000 crore as a result of a massive cyberattack that compromised the company’s multisignature wallet.
Features including cryptocurrency staking, an over-the-counter (OTC) desk, and futures trading will be added to the new DEX and redesigned platform, generating income streams for compensating impacted consumers.
Recovery Tokens to Make up for the Losses
WazirX intends to provide creditors with “recovery tokens,” which equal 48% of the stolen money, to assist users affected by the breach. These tokens, which are distributed pro rata, give users flexibility by allowing them to be held with the hope of long-term recovery through future platform revenues or traded for instant compensation. This strategy seeks to provide some liquidity to impacted users while offering a route towards a possible full recovery.
Nischal Shetty, the founder and CEO of WazirX, claims that the new DEX will provide a user-friendly interface equivalent to centralised exchanges, increasing accessibility to decentralised trading. Shetty observed that self-custody—where people keep control of their assets—is becoming more and more popular among cryptocurrency users. The security advantages of DEXs, which let users control their transactions and assets directly rather than depending on a centralised system that is susceptible to assaults, are consistent with this trend.
Planning to Launch Test Version in February 2025
Even while DEXs are becoming more and more popular, less than 5% of global cryptocurrency traders utilise them, and they only account for 13–15% of worldwide trading volumes. In addition to encouraging more users to embrace self-custody, WazirX hopes to capitalise on this market.
By February, WazirX anticipates releasing a test version of the DEX along with the new platform. The company’s remuneration plan will be linked to advancements in decentralised finance by offering users who own recovery tokens the opportunity to trade them for DEX tokens. The money made by the improved WazirX platform and the new DEX will be used to pay back creditors.
WazirX is functioning under a restructuring moratorium issued by a Singaporean court while it attempts to recover from the attack. Financial analysts caution that even with these efforts, only about 57% of the losses would be compensated, which might leave users with losses of almost INR 850 crore that have not been recovered.
About WazirX
WazirX is more than just a digital asset trading platform since its founding in 2018. The path has been driven by enthusiasm, determination, and a desire to provide all Indians with democratized access to cryptocurrency. WazirX is the market leader in terms of transaction volumes, boasting a listing of over 350 cryptos and tokens and over 16 million users.

StartupTalky: Give us a brief overview of Awfis Space Solutions Ltd and its evolution from a co-working space to an integrated workspace solutions platform.
Mr. Lakhani: Awfis Space Solutions Ltd. has evolved from a pioneering co-working provider to a comprehensive workspace solutions platform, meeting the changing demands of India’s modern workforce. Established with a vision to be the workplace of choice for the global workforce., Awfis initially focused on creating collaborative, flexible co-working spaces across major cities. This foundation soon evolved into an integrated platform catering to a wide spectrum of workspace needs.
Today, Awfis supports businesses of all sizes, including startups, SMEs, and large enterprises, by offering agile workspace solutions that range from co-working and enterprise-managed offices that cater to all their business and employee needs. Its ability to respond dynamically to evolving market trends—particularly the rise in demand from Global Capability Centers (GCCs) and Tier 2 cities—has fueled its growth and market reach. Through ongoing innovation and strategic expansion, Awfis has solidified its position as a leader in India’s workspace solutions industry, driven by a commitment to flexibility, scalability, and design excellence.
Awfis Journey So Far
StartupTalky: What types of flexible workspace solutions does Awfis offer, and how do these meet the different business needs of startups and large corporations?
Mr. Lakhani: Awfis delivers a broad spectrum of flexible workspace solutions tailored to the distinct needs of startups, SMEs, and large corporations. Our offerings include coworking spaces, managed offices, design & build solutions, mobility options, and a range of allied services. With a robust product portfolio and extensive network, we serve freelancers, entrepreneurs, startups, SMEs, and large corporations across India and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Awfis’ solutions combine agility, scalability, and customizability, empowering startups to prioritize growth and equipping large corporations with dynamic, cost-effective spaces that seamlessly adapt to evolving business demands.
StartupTalky: How will Awfis support startup growth through its partnership with IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, and IIT Madras in flagship events like UpStart 2024, Eureka 2024, and Elevate 2025 with workspace credits and mobility solutions?

StartupTalky: Awfis recently entered into a business transfer agreement with SMS Integrated Facility Services. Can you explain the strategic significance of this move for Awfis?
Mr. Lakhani: Awfis entered into a Business Transfer Agreement with SMS Integrated Facility Services Private Limited (“SMS”), for the divestiture of its Facility Management division – Awfis Care for a sale consideration of INR 27.5 crores. SMS Integrated Facility Services (SMS IFS) Private Limited, a Samara Capital company, is one of India’s leading pan-India integrated facilities management firms. Awfis will benefit from the expertise of a specialized player like SMS with their distinctive capabilities in people management, digital operations, and facility cost optimisation, while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and governance.
This move will reduce Awfis’ administrative overheads, and compliance requirements, and enhance operational efficiencies. Additionally, the transaction will be cash flow accretive, freeing up working capital and leading to improvement of the working capital cycle. This increased liquidity will provide the company with additional financial bandwidth to invest in growth and expansion.
StartupTalky: What is Awfis’ business model, and how does it differentiate itself in the competitive flexible workspace market?
Mr. Lakhani: We operate under two leasing models: Managed Aggregation and Straight Lease. The Managed Aggregation model, pioneered by Awfis, is an asset-light and risk-averse. In this approach, we partner with landlords/developers, who typically cover part or all the fit-out capital expenditure. Under the Straight Lease model, we lease space from developers or property owners under traditional terms. This includes a fixed monthly rental, common area maintenance charges, security deposits, minimum lock-in periods, lease tenure, and escalations. Awfis fully funds the capital expenditure for fitting out the property.
In Design & Build we partner with the clients and create designs as per their business requirements. We also offer Mobility solutions which include day passes, meeting rooms, and virtual offices suitable for freelancers and new entrepreneurs/startups.
Awfis Growth Strategy
StartupTalky: Who are your primary clients, and what has been the feedback from them regarding Awfis’ services?
Mr. Lakhani: We cater to a diverse client base, comprising 68% Corporate MNCs, 20% SMEs, 11% startups, and a small segment of freelancers. Our clients, both domestic and international, consistently commend the comfort and convenience they experience at every Awfis centre. With thoughtfully designed spaces that blend aesthetics and functionality, we enhance productivity and support employee well-being. Our vibrant community events further promote collaboration, conversation, and connection, creating a dynamic work environment for all.
StartupTalky: Are there any plans for expansion in terms of new locations or service offerings in the coming year?
Mr. Lakhani: We are driving expansion through both geographic reach and diversification of our offerings, introducing products and services that elevate client experiences, streamline business operations, and empower clients to focus on their core growth strategies.
Our plans include a stronger presence in Tier 2 cities, where the demand for flexible workspaces is steadily rising, providing businesses access to premium work environments outside major metro areas.
Across our portfolio, we are set to add 40,000 new seats by the end of FY25, further consolidating our position in this dynamic market. This growth is propelled by the rising demand for flexible workspaces, a thriving startup ecosystem, and the robust expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs).
Awfis India’s Largest Flexible Workspace Provider
StartupTalky: Can you share insights into Awfis’ financial performance since its IPO? How has the share price reacted to the broader market trends?
Mr. Lakhani: Since our IPO, we have demonstrated consistent and growth-oriented performance. Revenue from operations has increased by 37% year-over-year, while operating EBITDA surged by 56%, resulting in an operating EBITDA margin of 30.7%.
Our successful IPO reflects our commitment to financial prudence and strategic growth. Over the past year, we launched 50 new operational centres, adding 33,641 seats. This represents a year-over-year growth of 43% in operational seats and a 40% increase in operational centres. Notably, 10% of these new centres are located in Tier 2 cities, highlighting our ongoing expansion strategy in these emerging markets.
Post-IPO, Awfis’ share price has demonstrated robust growth. As of November 5, 2024, the stock closed at INR 728.80 on the NSE, reflecting a significant increase from its listing price.
StartupTalky: What strategies did Awfis implement during its IPO process, and how have they contributed to the company’s current standing in the market?
Mr. Lakhani: Clear, open, and most importantly planned communication has been a cornerstone of our organisational growth. We regularly organised town halls to ensure that every teammate at all levels, is informed and aligned throughout each aspect of the business.
Before the official IPO process began, we had an offsite where in an open forum we laid out our IPO mission. This was followed by a leaner growth meeting with next-in-line leaders to chart out a strategic short-term path and long-term metrics. A core IPO team was formed to adhere to and drive the process. Navigating the IPO process required strict adherence to regulations, complete transparency, and timely stakeholder communication.
Our external advisors were instrumental in assessing IPO readiness, shaping our narrative, and building investor confidence. Well-coordinated roadshows generated significant interest, while our legal counsel ensured compliance with regulatory standards, simplifying the complex documentation process.
Founded just nine years ago, Awfis was the first company in the flexible workspace sector to go public, facing unique challenges and without any precedents to guide us. At that time, coworking was still an emerging concept and had yet to establish its significance in the real estate market. Our oversubscription of 108 times not only provided a substantial boost to the flexible workspace industry but also solidified our position as a trusted leader, enhancing investor confidence.
Today, Awfis stands at the forefront of India’s coworking landscape, recognized for its diversified portfolio, extensive network, and transformative impact on the flexible workspace sector.
StartupTalky: How do you envision Awfis evolving in the market following the IPO, and what growth opportunities do you foresee?
Mr. Lakhani: The growing startup culture, the rise of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), and the increasing demand for flexible workspaces—preferred by both modern employees and corporations for enhancing productivity and promoting employee well-being—have solidified the position of flexible spaces within the commercial real estate sector.
As the only publicly listed player with the largest network in the country, Awfis stands out as the preferred provider of flexible workspaces. Our robust growth in the flex space industry is further underscored by the overwhelming success of our IPO, which was oversubscribed by 108.56 times. This achievement has enhanced our brand visibility, boosted investor and market confidence, and reinforced our status as a leading and trusted flex space provider in the commercial real estate market.
Awfis Team at the IPO Launch
StartupTalky: How does technology play a role in enhancing the services provided by Awfis, especially in the context of hybrid work environments?
Mr. Lakhani: Awfis offers a comprehensive suite of services within a diversified product portfolio, including TechLabs, where the company has developed advanced IT protocols and cutting-edge technology infrastructure. These measures not only safeguard sensitive information but also shield clients from cybersecurity threats.
Awfis integrates smart access and visitor management systems for enhanced on-site security, ensuring seamless tech-driven operations. In addition, the company provides advanced technology support through Data Center solutions, Cloud Computing, Network Solutions & Integration, Client-Side Computing, and a full range of Software & Hardware solutions. With robust cybersecurity solutions and a fully functional digital workplace, Awfis enhances efficiency and confidentiality for clients. Through user-friendly mobile apps, tenants can easily book workspaces and access services, elevating the overall experience.
StartupTalky: As the Deputy CEO, what is your personal vision for Awfis, and how do you plan to lead the company towards achieving its goals?
Mr. Lakhani: We recognize that the future of work requires a blend of flexibility, adaptability, and innovation. Today’s demand for commercial workspaces is driven by a diverse ecosystem of large corporations, mid-sized companies, small businesses, and startups. The IT sector, historically the dominant consumer of these spaces, now shares that demand with IT offshoring, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), BFSI, and India-focused IT companies.
Additionally, post-pandemic demand for flexible spaces has tripled, a trend we expect to continue given the appeal of convenience and customization—placing us in a strong position for growth. Our Design & Build solutions allow us to craft spaces tailored to meet clients’ unique business, aesthetic, and employee requirements.
Meanwhile, our mobility solutions empower freelancers, new startups, and solopreneurs with flexible, ready-to-use infrastructure that supports their specific needs in a hassle-free manner.
We want to build a transformative workspace ecosystem that not only promotes innovation and collaboration but also drives sustainable growth for businesses across India. Our aim is to expand across India, reaching every corner to empower entrepreneurs with a platform for growth and innovation, becoming integral to India’s growth story. This comprehensive approach will enable Awfis to continue evolving as a leader in the coworking space industry, delivering value to our clients, communities, and stakeholders alike.

Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, said on his first visit to India that the business is proud that India is one of its fastest-growing markets and that it has one of its best teams globally, with offices in Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
Suleyman, who is well-known for having founded Inflection AI and DeepMind, two of the top artificial intelligence (AI) firms in the world, offered his thoughts on the direction of AI and how it may enhance human welfare.
Suleyman stated during the Microsoft: Building AI Companions for India event in Bengaluru on November 6, 2024, that India has incredibly talented engineers and developers.
Social scientists, psychologists, therapists, screenwriters, and comedians—those people who may often connect with the film or video game industries—are also becoming more and more involved with Microsoft. He noted that the company has the chance to synthesise more varied viewpoints and obtain a more comprehensive understanding of those engaged in the design and operating process.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
While citing Microsoft 365 Copilot as an example, Suleyman added that Microsoft 365 is a productivity tool driven by AI that enables users to do activities more effectively and efficiently. To offer real-time support, it interfaces with Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. Copilot offers skills and content that are pertinent to a user’s tasks by utilising Microsoft Graph data and massive language models.
According to Suleyman, this innovative artificial intelligence application can look up and cite any query users ask by looking at their calendar or email, Excel sheets, papers, supply-chain data, or firm human resource records. This is contributing significantly to the workplace. Knowledge workers can now act on the beneficial knowledge they have access to. “I believe that many of our industries will experience significant economic benefits,” he stated.
Speaking with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology
Suleyman spoke with S. Krishnan, the secretary of the Indian government’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. Suleyman responded that the internet has already made information accessible to everyone when asked about the economic benefits and growth potential that artificial intelligence (AI) can bring to India, particularly in a setting with limited capital.
According to Suleyman, AI will now make information accessible to anyone. This knowledge is synthesised, condensed, and customised to users’ preferred methods of information acquisition and utilisation. That holds true at work just as much as it does at home.
India’s AI Mission
Through the India AI mission, the country hopes to build a strong AI computing infrastructure. Suleyman responded that voice is the best approach to making the technologies widely available and accessible when questioned about Microsoft’s role in fostering diversity in India. According to him, the government ought to invest in fields like translation and languages. He also underlined how crucial it is for startups and companies to have access to sizable government datasets in order to train their models and promote innovation.
The 2024 Chemistry Nobel Prize was given to John Jumper and Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind for creating the ground-breaking AI tool AlphaFold, which predicts protein structures, he said, highlighting the scientific advances made possible by AI.
Suleyman emphasised the importance of proactive regulation in the field while talking about the risks posed by AI. According to him, it needs to be discussed openly rather than as a taboo subject.

Remote work has rapidly evolved from a niche setup to a common standard across many industries, thanks to its numerous benefits to both employees and businesses. Comprehensive global research on the impact of remote work has concluded that implementing it saves companies $11,000 per employee per year.
However, remote work also takes away the direct supervision over your employees. The desire to accurately measure remote employees’ productivity can lead many managers into detrimental and counterproductive micromanagement.
Do you know how to measure success without frustrating your employees?
In this article, we’ll dive into strategies and metrics to effectively manage productivity from a distance. We’ll also examine tools like remote work software that help create a collaborative and efficient virtual workspace.
Challenges in Measuring Remote Productivity
When trying to gauge the productivity of your remote workers, you can face severe challenges. Letting them fly under the radar can cause a drop in your company’s productivity and competitiveness in the long run:
Limited Visibility: Unlike in a traditional office, remote work makes it challenging to see how employees allocate their time. Without direct oversight, it’s harder to assess whether a project needs additional support, which can lead to inaccurate evaluations of both output and effort.
Communication: Remote workers often face challenges such as misunderstandings, response delays, and difficulties interpreting tone and intent in digital messages. These issues can lead to misaligned priorities, significantly reducing efficiency.
Lack of Standardized Productivity Metrics: Traditional metrics, such as hours worked or tasks completed, may not accurately reflect productivity, especially when output quality is more important than quantity. Without a universal metric, it’s challenging for managers to assess individual and team performance accurately.
Ways to Measure Productivity in Remote Teams
Without the right data, it can be hard to understand why your remote team is struggling through some processes. If left unchecked, these seemingly small roadblocks can soon lead to severe delays and, finally, financial loss.
To make sure your remote team stays focused, motivated, and productive, try the following strategies:
Define and Align KPIs and OKRs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) give managers a well-rounded view of productivity and success across diverse roles and responsibilities. Identifying relevant KPIs for each role provides a more standardized and fair approach to measuring productivity.
For instance, a sales team’s KPIs might focus on lead conversion rates. A content team, on the other hand, could track the number of articles produced and engagement rates.
Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) help set ambitious goals for the business, which are then broken down into specific, actionable targets for teams and individuals.
Together, OKRs fuel growth and innovation, while Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) provide the stability and efficiency needed to achieve sustained success.
EstablishMilestones
Few things are as satisfying as checking off a milestone. Milestones provide a clear view of how close a project is to completion, making progress feel tangible and manageable. They break down large, daunting projects into smaller, achievable steps and help spot potential roadblocks early, preventing them from becoming bigger issues.
Set Goals and Deadlines
Setting deadlines for everyday tasks helps everyone understand priorities and expectations. This approach not only assists employees in prioritizing their work but also gives managers valuable insights into team performance and areas needing extra support. Clear deadlines enable teams to focus on meaningful goals, stay on track, and quickly identify any potential roadblocks.
Improve Communication
Clear, open communication is essential in remote work to keep everyone aligned and build trust. Regular check-ins, daily stand-ups, and weekly goal-setting meetings foster accountability, while asynchronous communication allows flexibility.
Dedicated channels help reduce distractions and ensure relevant information is easily accessible. Slack, for example, allows sharing updates, creating project threads, and maintaining feedback loops.
Building a culture of sharing and encouragement, such as celebrating milestones or recognizing achievements, keeps morale high.
Implement Employee Monitoring Software
Employee monitoring software is a powerful tool that benefits both managers and employees alike, especially in a remote work environment. It can boost productivity and improve job satisfaction by helping you:
Monitor activity: Real-time data provides valuable insights into your team’s daily habits. This makes it easier to balance workloads, spot employees who need extra support, and help them reach their full potential.
Track time: Understanding exactly how long each task takes allows you to manage projects more effectively and stay on schedule.
Enhance communication: By promoting transparency and accountability, monitoring software helps reduce miscommunication, keeping everyone aligned and connected across the team.
Support Employee Well-Being: Monitoring software gives managers a clear view of team and individual workloads, helping them immediately spot signs of burnout. This makes it easier to adjust tasks and create a healthier, more motivated team.
Conclusion
According to a recent study conducted by Upwork, it is estimated that by 2025, 32.6 million Americans will be working remotely.
To keep your remote team productive and thriving despite the challenges of this fast-evolving work landscape, don’t hesitate to embrace new ways and tools of tracking and managing productivity.
