Through this partnership, myHQ will be the sole technology, marketing, and sales partner for WeWork India’s day pass, conference room bookings, and Virtual Office product. Users would either be able to book these from the myHQ platform or from the WeWork platform where the myHQ product journey will take over at the time of purchase.
This partnership will significantly advance the standards of flexibility and innovation in the Indian workspace landscape. Launched in 2020, WeWork On-demand allows individuals as well as enterprises to make single or bulk bookings via day passes and bundles respectively, across its 40+ locations. It also enables access to conference rooms – from smaller meeting rooms to boardrooms and podcast rooms which can be booked by the hour. Additionally, WeWork’s Virtual Office solution provides growing businesses with a premium business address to establish their business or grow operations in a new city without incurring the significant overhead costs of a physical office.

“This is the first product sales mandate anyone has ever signed in this industry and we are happy to see WeWork India trust us with this. Now we hope to sign 1-2 more mandates in the coming months and be the go-to-platform for all customers and flexible workspace operators. Whether it is an individual, freelancer, or a hybrid corporate, whether it is a space at 200 INR/day or 2000 INR/day, we want to cater to all workspace needs!”
Commenting on the collaboration, Karan Virwani, CEO, WeWork India, added, “We are excited to partner with myHQ by ANAROCK to enhance our Virtual Office and On-demand services.
