AI Expected to Transform India's Office Space Demand and Workforce by 2030
A Cushman Wakefield study projects India's office-using workforce to grow from 38 million in 2025 to 48 million by 2030, driven by expansion in office-based services and Global Capability Centres (GCCs). While AI is expected to automate routine tasks and change work nature, it is not anticipated to reduce office space demand. The report forecasts a rise in office vacancies due to increased supply, with vacancy rates peaking at 16.2% in 2029 before easing. India's labor cost advantage may delay widespread AI adoption, with productivity gains expected later in the decade.
