We have helped over 1000 employees from 50 companies work from high-quality office spaces in Trichy, Madurai, Kochi, Salem, Coimbatore, Trivandrum, Mysore and the like, and the key cities in India.
Must add here that our biggest success so far has been in Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, where we helped a global IT MNC set up a Centre of Excellence, which included support for infrastructure, workspace & workforce management and support for smooth operations.
