Mumbai has always been an expensive city for the real estates, especially for commercial spaces. It was a tough challenge for Taluka to identify a good office space without escalating prevailing cost. For Signode, it was much more challenging to finalise the space because of legal compliances, property limitations and transparency attached to a MNC. Real estate service providers and consultants made this seamless. Taluka believes that, when the teams worked with tough timelines and on budget, it is always important to select an experienced service provider with a good client reputation and the right vendor.

Signode wanted a consolidated extensive office in Mumbai region to improve collaboration among employees from different business units. This strategic decision passed through many compliance and operational challenges and the company’s office opened in Navi Mumbai last year, resulting in optimisation of operational cost, effective utilisation of resources and enhanced employee satisfaction.

Today’s generation needs an aesthetically sound and modern office with amenities, including breakout spaces, cafeteria and other recreational facilities. They are more hygienic-, health- and fitness-conscious, and facility managers play an important role to consider these factors while designing a new office space to attract and retain the internal talent, advocates Taluka.
