Post-acquisition, myHQ will retain its distinct brand and independence. Utkarsh Kawatra and Vinayak Agarawal, both IIT-Delhi graduates who founded myHQ in 2016, will remain on board as founding partners. Puri said the company had made this acquisition as it sees huge business potential in the flexible workspace segment as the demand from corporates and individuals has grown amid the COVID pandemic.
“Coming on the heels of Anarock introducing US-based Upflex Inc, a hybrid booking platform with the largest global network of flexible workspaces, to India, myHQ acquisition will strengthen our tech and product offerings and enhance our capabilities in this vertical,” Puri said.
