India, 28 Feb 2025: Together, GoFloaters and MyBranch have published extensive research that details the remarkable expansion of coworking spaces and commercial real estate in Tamil Nadu. According to the research, the state contributes 8.8% of India’s GDP and has over 45,000 manufacturing facilities in industries including electronics, automotive, IT, and textiles. Tamil Nadu has been a popular destination for foreign investors and multinational corporations due to the state’s robust infrastructure, which includes Chennai’s sizable port and international airport.
The research also emphasizes how coworking spaces have grown rapidly throughout the region as a result of freelancers, startups, and established businesses seeking flexible office solutions. According to GoFloaters’ Co-Founder – Mr Shyam Sundar Nagarajan, “Customized workspace solutions are driving business expansion in Tamil Nadu, marking a vibrant change in conventional work patterns.” Prominent business districts such as Anna Salai, Mount Road, and Chennai’s Central Business District have become hubs for leading financial institutions and multinational enterprises. Since the IT sector occupies more than 60% of Chennai’s commercial real estate, the existence of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and IT parks, such as TIDEL Park and Ramanujan IT City, satisfies the demands of multinational IT corporations.
Chennai-Kanyakumari Industrial Corridor and Chennai-Bangalore Industrial Corridor strategic plans have enhanced trade, industrialization, and urbanization by benefitting industries like IT, electronics, and the automobile sector. The startup ecosystem in the state has also gained momentum, having over 8,500 startups registered in 2024 and growing at the rate of 22% annually. Facilities like StartupTN and the support of more than 120 incubators have honed Tamil Nadu’s prominence as a startup ecosystem. Focused on strategic infrastructure development, technological advancement, and business-friendly policies, Tamil Nadu is on its way to formalizing its economy into a $1 trillion economy by the year 2030. The collaborative report from GoFloaters and MyBranch gives an in-depth run of the commercial real estate dynamics within the state, a growing coworking sector that presents great opportunities for both businesses and investors.
