Pricing

How much does office space cost in Mumbai?

Mumbai is India's most expensive office market — but offers strong value against global benchmarks. India's flex market has tripled in 5 years to 100M sq ft.

Mumbai's GCC boom: 34% surge in office absorption (42M sq ft in 2025). GCC (Global Capability Centre) demand is driving enterprise absorption. WeWork India posted its first profit in FY25 (Rs 5.75B revenue, +22.4% YoY) — and fully subscribed its $338M IPO in October 2025. Flex is fast becoming the default, not the alternative.

The broker maths

What do brokers charge in Mumbai?

India broker fee structures — and what they mean for your Mumbai deal.

MarketTypical broker feeOn a 10-desk deal (3yr)
India 3–6% of total lease value ~£3,000–£5,500
United States 3–5.5% of total lease value ~£2,500–£4,000
Japan / Europe 1–3% of total lease value ~£1,000–£2,000
With Seek £0 We charge operators a flat subscription

On a 3-year lease for 10 desks at ₹10,000/desk/mo, that's ₹144,000 in broker fees. Usually paid by the landlord but embedded in your rent. With Seek: £0.

Seek removes this layer. We connect you directly with Mumbai operators who have agreed to list without a commission layer. Their flat subscription covers the platform cost — your deal size is irrelevant to us. Find a Mumbai operator →
