Our story

Our story: built in Bengaluru since 2017

Clayworks began in 2017 with a simple belief: a workspace is not a service, it's an experience. Founders Abhijith Shashidhar and Rahul Singh had spent years in Bengaluru commercial real estate, and saw that most offices were built to fill seats rather than to help people do their best work.

So they set out to build workspaces differently. Each Clayworks centre is designed in-house around natural light, greenery and calm, hospitality-led service, and placed in the neighbourhoods where people live, to cut commute time. Projects like Clayworks Create on Bannerghatta Road gave existing buildings a new life through adaptive reuse instead of building from scratch.

Today Clayworks runs 20 centres across Bengaluru, from Koramangala and JP Nagar to Whitefield, Electronic City and the Central Business District. It serves freelancers on a day pass and enterprise teams of 500+ in fully managed, built-to-suit offices.

OUR PRINCIPLE

Humansense at Work®: what it means

Humansense at Work® is the idea behind every Clayworks space: a workplace should care for the people in it first. It shows up in three ways.

  • Design that reflects your work

    Every space is designed in-house around how your team actually works, with biophilic design, natural light and room for your own brand, so it feels like your office rather than a shared floor.

  • Service built around your day

    Hospitality-grade community and facility teams handle reception, housekeeping, IT support and maintenance, so your team can focus on its work.

  • Sustainability that supports people and planet

    IGBC-certified buildings, filtered air, sensor-based lighting and reclaimed materials reduce environmental impact while keeping people healthier at work.
