Avanta Serviced Offices in India Attracts Major Customers
Avanta's Serviced Office Space Demand Rises as Clients Look for More Value for Money

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, June 04, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- UK's leading serviced office space provider, Avanta, continues to grow in India as more companies now are looking for serviced office space over traditional long term leases. The group recently signed on large corporates at its Mumbai & Delhi serviced office facilities in India.

"With the current economic trend corporates are now avoiding heavy investments and opting for serviced offices. Therefore, our office space solutions with no upfront costs, immediate access, flexibility to upsize or downsize, have resulted in reputed corporates signing up in the past few months. Also, looking at the overwhelming response we are sure our serviced office centres in Mumbai and New Delhi will continue to grow substantially in the months to come." said Mr. Amit Bansal, Sales & Marketing Director, Avanta India and Middle East.

The prime locations, flexibility & immediacy are the other factors that have helped Avanta to garner new businesses. The existing clients, who are operating out of Avanta serviced office facilities, both in New Delhi & Mumbai, are a satisfied lot. They have realized that opting for serviced office has optimized their executive time & that they can concentrate on their core business. This is mainly due to the fact that all operational & maintenance of the centers are taken care by Avanta's professional service team.

UK India Business Council's Country Director Adrian Mutton is one such satisfied client. Commenting on the decision why UKIBC chose Avanta he said, "We have looked at many options before moving into Avanta. The main issues for taking this decision were that we could operate from day one as there was simple documentation and the serviced offices were fully equipped and functional. Here we can concentrate more on our business than looking into basic requirements of running an office, which take so much of executive time apart from cost to the company. Also, it is almost like owning our own office as Avanta premises are unbranded."

Avanta's Bandra Kurla Complex serviced office facility in Mumbai, which has over 500 workstations to offer, has recently leased 100 workstations to a large corporate house. Avanta not only accommodates large office space requirements, but also provides office spaces for small to medium size business as well.

"We're still only a team of 10-15 people. So we didn't want to invest in a huge office right away. But then we may need to add more people in the coming months, Avanta offered us the flexibility that conventional offices don't - a compact office for now, with the option of upgrading to a bigger office in the future, in the very same building', said, Mr. Atul Bhatia, Manager Business Development, Astonfield Solar Private Limited, who have taken up an office in Avanta's Connaught Place center, New Delhi.

Avanta India currently has three serviced office facilities. Statesman House located in New Delhi's prime business district of Connaught Place is spread over four floors with 20,000 sq ft of space. In Mumbai it has 2 serviced office facilities - Oval House in Fort (20,000 sq ft spread over 7 floors) & Platina at Bandra Kurla Complex, the largest serviced office facility in India (50,000 sq ft spread over 2 floors).
