A Zero-Capex, Fully-Managed Workspace Solution Delivered in Record Time

Tesco, one of the world’s leading retailers, operates a major Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, driving engineering, analytics, product development, and global retail innovation. With rapid expansion underway, Tesco required a high-quality, fully managed workspace in Whitefield to accommodate new technology and business teams.Engagement Overview
Tesco partnered with GoodWorks CoWork, a GoodWorks Group company, to create a 400-seater Grade A office designed, built, and operated end-to-end by GoodWorks. This was a turnkey, zero-capex solution that allowed Tesco to scale quickly without operational or infrastructure burden.
