Yes. A facility employing 10 or more workers with power, or 20 or more workers without power, must hold a valid Factory Licence issued by DISH Maharashtra under the Factories Act 1948, in addition to a valid MPCB CTO before commercial operations. - Which documents are required for a Factory Licence?

A coworking space is a fully furnished, serviced office shared by several companies. Instead of leasing and fitting out a whole office, you pay per seat — and the price bundles furniture, internet, power backup, housekeeping, reception and meeting-room access. - What is the difference between a furnished and an unfurnished office in Pune? A furnished (plug-and-play) office is handed over with workstations, cabins, cabling, internet and facility services already in place, billed as one monthly rent — teams usually move in within one to three weeks. An unfurnished office is a bare shell or warm shell floor leased at a lower base rent, which you fit out to your own layout and brand standards over roughly four to six months. - Should I lease a furnished or an unfurnished office? Furnished suits teams that need to start quickly, want zero capex or are unsure of headcount over the next 12 to 24 months. Unfurnished suits long-tenure teams of 50 seats and above, regulated or IT-heavy setups that need their own server room and access control, and anyone who wants the office built to their own brand guidelines. SpaceIndex Consultants shortlists both and compares the total cost over the lease term. - How much does a coworking seat cost in Pune? Hot desks start around ₹399 per day, dedicated desks run ₹5,500 to ₹9,500 per month and private cabins start at ₹15,500 per seat per month. Rates vary by micro-market — Kharadi and Koregaon Park sit at the premium end, while PCMC and Kothrud are more cost-efficient. - Which is the best area for coworking in Pune? It depends on your team. Hinjewadi suits IT and ITeS teams near Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park; Baner and Balewadi suit startups; Kharadi and EON Free Zone suit MNCs and global capability centres; Viman Nagar is minutes from Pune International Airport; Shivaji Nagar is the central business district with the best metro connectivity; and Chinchwad–Akurdi in PCMC suits automotive and engineering companies. - What is the difference between coworking and a managed office? In coworking you rent seats on a shared floor and share amenities with other companies. A managed office is a private floor built to your specification for your company alone, and operated end-to-end by the provider — typically chosen by teams of 50 seats and above. - Do you charge tenants a brokerage or advisory fee? No. Our coworking advisory is free for tenants — we are compensated by the operator, so you get unbiased comparisons at no added cost. - Is there a lock-in period or security deposit? Terms differ by operator. Zero-deposit options and flexible lock-in terms are available on request, and we negotiate tenure, notice period and deposit on your behalf. - Can I get a GST registration address without renting an office? Yes. Our virtual office plans start at ₹1,200 per month and include the compliant documentation set, mail handling and meeting-room credits. - Can I book a meeting room in Pune without a membership? Yes. Boardrooms, training halls and interview rooms can be booked by the hour or by the day with no membership required, from ₹499 per hour. - How fast can a 100-seater managed office go live? Ready-to-move managed floors can be handed over in 2–4 weeks. Fully bespoke build-to-suit GCC fit-outs typically take 8–14 weeks depending on scope. - Which areas are best for IT and US-shift teams? Hinjewadi, Kharadi/EON and Magarpatta offer the deepest 24/7-ready infrastructure, redundant power and night-shift transport support. - How do I book a site visit with SpaceIndex?
