Hyderabad houses FLEX SPACE one of the fastest grwoing

 Hyderabad houses 4.5 million sq. ft. of flex space; one of the fastest growing flex markets in the country: JLL

 

Hyderabad hosts 4.5 million sq. ft. of the total flex space stock in India and is one among the fastest growing markets in the country, according to a recently launched report by JLL, Reimagine Flexspaces A 360⁰ view.

The demand for flexible spaces in large cities such as Hyderabad is likely to grow, with businesses having a greater need to accommodate portfolio expansion and contraction along with crisis support. This indicates the inherent growth potential of the flex office market in India.

“Flex space operators provided organised workspaces with a lock-in-period of 1-2 years. Companies that have pre-leased with scheduled delivery over next 1-2 years have shown interest in such flex spaces to have their temporary offices. Apart from big MNCs, Hyderabad also houses many start-ups and small companies in the field of Consulting, IT, and logistics. Flex spaces have become financially feasible for such small players as well with low capex,” said Sandip Patnaik, Managing Director and Head (Telangana & Andhra Pradesh), JLL India

The flex space market in Hyderabad saw major traction from mid-2018 and peaked in 2019. Flex spaces accounted for 28% of total office space leasing in 2019 in the city. While flex spaces already enjoyed popularity amongst start-ups and small-sized companies, there has been an increased traction amongst large BFSI and IT-ITeS occupiers mainly as managed office spaces as well as incubation spaces. This supports the significant expansion by flex space operators in the city during the last 2-3 years.

As per a recent report by JLL strong signs of recovery were witnessed in the Hyderabad office market in Q3 2020 with a healthy gross leasing at 1.9 million sq. ft. At the same time, net absorption grew by 31% from the previous quarter to 1.5 million sq. ft. in Q3 2020.

The country is expected to witness deeper penetration, throughout 2021 and beyond, the flex space market is forecast to grow at a slower pace and more organically. Irrespective of several short-term disruptions and challenges, increased demand from large enterprises, will support the growth of the flex space market to more than 50 million sq. ft. by 2023. It is anticipated that flexible space will grow by an average of around 15-20% per annum over the next three-to-four years, although this trajectory will not be linear. Previously expected levels of new investment are unlikely to be seen, as operators look to solidify their existing operations and it is likely that certain operators will not be able to weather the storm.

As corporates return to the workplace, they are likely to further leverage flexible space to reduce capital expenditure and create cost savings, while allowing for split teams and de-densification requirements. Developments that initially drove the growth of the flex market, like the focus on utilizing workplaces to boost productivity and drive dynamic work cultures, enhance emphasis on employee health etc., will continue to influence the next phase in India.

 “While the flex-space market more than tripled in the last 3 years, the momentum going ahead will be relatively slower. Players are likely to tread cautiously, and the overall market is expected to expand 1.5 times from the current size. At the same time, demand for flexible space is likely to remain resilient and we expect the size of the flex space market to cross 50 million sq. ft. by 2023, led by increased demand from larger enterprises,” Dr Samantak Das, Chief Economist and Head of Research & REIS, JLL India.

In the commercial real estate space, flex spaces have become synonymous with adaptability. As preferences evolve, a range of flexible space options have taken shape to suit changing business needs, including remote working. To respond to the current disruption, and to lay the groundwork to deal with what may be permanent changes for the industry, flex space operators have been agile and are recalibrating their business strategies. They are now laying a greater emphasis on profitability and evolving strategies to ensure stable occupancy levels in their flex space centres.

 Large enterprises to drive demand

The densification trend that had emerged over the last decade will likely reverse with enterprises leaning on flexible office space to relax space density. Large enterprises might also look at splitting up their offices to reduce commute times and dependence on public transport. However, with expected economic uncertainty, companies will be hesitant to commit large capital to real estate. In terms of strategy, leasing directly to a third-party flexible space operator is the most widely adopted model. A partnership model allows both landlords and operators to leverage each other’s strengths. There are several ways to implement a partnership, with revenue shares and management contracts being the most common. Under the revenue share option, both parties split the upside. In the case of a management contract, the operator gets a fixed payment, while the landlord assumes all the leasing risk and enjoys the upside. Despite the benefits of this approach, partnerships are relatively less common in India for now.

What the future holds

The entry of more than 300 flex space operators into the country helped commoditize the market. Prior to the pandemic, most of these operators were focused on attaining scale and capturing market share. However, the availability of capital, in the current scenario, will be a challenge. Players who have embarked on aggressive growth so far will find themselves strapped for capital. In such a scenario, the market is likely to witness consolidation activity driven by larger operators with financial wherewithal acquiring smaller ones. 

Flexible workplaces will continue to be a major influence on the future direction of the Indian office market. There will be an even greater focus on providing customized office space solutions and demand for flexible space will not only return but increase, as occupiers embrace the core plus flex model more widely. Despite the massive disruption from the impact of COVID-19, the future of flexible workspaces will remain optimistic.

SIAM Organizes 6th Virtual Lecture on

 SIAM Organizes 6th Virtual Lecture on “Active & Passive Vehicular Safety Standards”

Participating industry experts emphasised the fact that, improved enforcements, a level playing field, technological advancements and greater awareness are imperative today, for road safety

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) conducted its 6th lecture, on “Active & Passive Vehicular Safety Standards”, on 27th November, 2020. The lecture focused on Safety Standards for Buses and Commercial Vehicles in the national and global markets.

 The lecture also provided a comparative overview of the global markets with regards to Global Safety Standards for Buses and Commercial Vehicles alongside India’s achievements and the way forward in the aforesaid domain.

While the participants recognised the fact that although India as a country have come a long way as far as road safety is concerned, and buses and CVs today do have a large number of safety features, incidences of road fatalities still remain high. The lecture discussed and deliberated on what more safety best-practices can be implemented and the types of technological advancements and interventions that can be initiated, to mitigate this concern. All participants consensually agreed to the fact that India lacks the necessary infrastructure and there is a dearth of awareness amongst consumers as well, when it comes to road safety and safer mobility.  

Mr Prashant K Banerjee (Executive Director, SIAM), said, "It is very unfortunate to think of the fact that, every year, a multitude of people dies on our streets. While we at SIAM, takes pride that although today, trucks and buses adhere to safety standards and have advanced features that are at par with their global counterparts, however, there is a dire need for a well-structured enforcement implementation mechanism, initiatives that will work towards promoting a level playing field and a need for greater awareness amongst buyers and consumers. These are indispensable factors for ensuring safer mobility. SIAM has been continuously working towards providing an assertive and stimulating platform for the industry to come together and collectively address concerns that are impacting every citizen.”

The panel comprised of industry veterans, including the likes of Mr Ashim Sharma Partner (Group Head, Business Performance Improvement Consulting NRI Consulting & Solutions India), Mr Ranjit Ballal (GM & Head- VATS Ops), Mr. P Gowrishankar (GM & Head- Regulations and IB Tata Motors Ltd), Mr Neeraj Shaiv (General Manager VE Commercial Vehicles Limited), Mr D Balakrishnan (General Manager Ashok Leyland Ltd), Mr Ranjit Radhakrishnan (Vice President Volvo Group India Pvt Ltd) and Mr Prashant K Banerjee (Executive Director SIAM).

They shared their valuable insights on the following topics:

·         Indian Safety Standards for Buses/ Commercial Vehicles

·         Need for Harmonized Regulations across body builders

·         Safety Standards: Vehicles carrying hazardous materials

Furniture searches online jump

Furniture searches online jump 1.5x-2x ahead of wedding season: Flipkart data 

With the onset of the wedding season, usually witnessed from December to March, an increasing number of consumers across the country are looking for their furniture essentials online. With COVID necessitating staying indoors coupled with the inherent benefits of shopping online including the availability of a large selection of products and home delivery services, there has been a significant surge in searches of beds, sofas and dining tables to name a few.

Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has witnessed an increase of 1.5x-2x in search of furniture items across verticals during the past few months as against the same period last year. This indicates a growing consumer appetite for purchasing furniture online in the run up to the wedding season. While the searches from metros and tier-I cities have jumped by 1.5x and 1.7x respectively,it is the tier-III cities which are leading the search trends with over 2x jump over last year. While beds and sofas are the most searched items for wedding shopping across cities, there is a growing demand for affordable and multi-functional furniture such as sofa-cum-beds etc., which ensure better utilisation of space.

To meet this growing demand, Flipkart is working with its large pool of over 10,000 onboarded sellers to make various types of furniture available during the upcoming season. The company is providing them with consumer insights on the kinds of furniture being preferred and the price points to meet consumers’ demand.

Nishant Gupta, Senior Director, Furniture and BGMH, Flipkart said, “A large number of consumers are looking to set up their homes during the upcoming wedding season due to which we are witnessing heightened search trends across various furniture verticals such as beds and sofas. While this trend is visible across cities, tier-III cities are witnessing over 2x jump in searches over last year, in continuation of a trend seen post COVID as an increasing number of consumers from smaller cities shop online. We, at Flipkart, have created a special store online to help wedding shoppers get a curated shopping experience and are working with our large number of sellers in making available the widest selection of furniture items ahead of the wedding season”. 

This year, Flipkart has expanded its furniture portfolio and has onboarded sellers from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, who specialize in authentic, indigenous designs and materials. With a selection of about 3.5 lakh furniture products by almost 10,000 sellers across the country, coupled with delivery in 100 percent of the serviceable pincodes and installation services at all major pincodes, Flipkart is enabling customers to set up their new homes with great ease and convenience. Flipkart’s affordability constructs like “No Cost EMI” and “Pay Later” are extremely popular, with almost 50 percent of customers choosing these options while paying.

Hombale films, a film production house established by a

Hombale films, a film production house established by a first generation entrepreneur Mr. Vijay Kiragandur, set foot with a simple yet unobstructed vision. The goal was to elevate the quality of filmmaking in Sandalwood i.e., Kannada Film Industry. We further surfaced to fill the vacuity in South Indian Film Industry by presenting family entertainers with unparalleled quality. As we are never limited by the budget factor, we proceeded with technical production that is best of industry standards.

Our earliest projects comprised of Kannada superstars were ‘Ninnindale’ starring Puneeth Rajkumar & ‘Masterpiece’ starring Yash. Our next spin was ‘Raajakumara’, again starring Puneeth Rajkumar, directed by young Writer- Director Santhosh Ananddram. By turning into the highest grosser of KFI of the times, it made Hombale stand tall as the current Powerhouse of the industry.

 

With audience and their love, stories and cinema, there comes a phase, when the recurring success guides us to spread our wings and fly higher. Our founder, Mr. Vijay Kiragandur, on the lookout for his next project, met an up and coming, craftly endowed filmmaker Prashanth Neel. The remarkable story that took birth in Neel’s mind required humongous scale of production to be come to life. This is where their visions inclined and shone bright. The winning trio of Yash, Prashanth Neel and him came together to create the masterpiece titled ‘KGF: Chapter 1’. 

 


South Indian Cinema spectrum witnessed never seen before experience. A first film to see the light of simultaneous five language release - Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi languages. The movie received an instant positive response from audiences with the Acting, Direction, Cinematography, Art direction and the film's score specially singled out for praise. Within four days post release, shattering the records, the film marked to be an all-time highest grossing Kannada film. What Vijay Kiragandur achieved with his tenacity and his collaborators, was so different from the work of anyone else and on such a massive scale. The impact of Hombale Films, the umbrella venture of this first-generation filmmakers has been profound and far-reaching. 

 

That was just the beginning of the renaissance we aimed at.Hombale Films is now working on three mega projects - Yuvarathnaa (Bilingual movie with Puneeth Rajkumar), KGF Chapter II and our 7th and a soon to be announced Indian Film with Super Star – Super Director. 

 

Will Hombale’s next be the rise of new wave in the nation? #HombaleFilms7 is third film for a national audience from the production house that will see a simultaneous release in five languages. These projects will surely vault Hombale Films to be the production house in the country to have had three nationwide simultaneous releases in five languages.
