About Neetish Sarda

Neetish Sarda is the Founder and Managing Director of Smartworks, the largest managed campus operator*, with over 10 million sq. ft. across 54 centres in 15 cities (as on June 30, 2025). He launched Smartworks with a clear vision: to transform India’s traditional office spaces into agile, tech-enabled campuses designed for productivity, experience, and scale.

Under his leadership, Smartworks has grown from a single centre to a nationwide platform serving mid-to-large enterprises. The company also has presence in Singapore with 2 centres. Known for his instinctive business acumen and operational clarity, Neetish led Smartworks’ strategic evolution—from coworking to managed offices, and now to a campus platform. This bold pivot laid the foundation for a profitable, scalable, and future-ready business.

In 2025, Smartworks went public—a landmark moment in a journey defined by foresight, resilience, and long-term thinking. Having founded the company in his 20s, Neetish continues to lead from the front, building not just office spaces—but what the modern Indian workplace should truly feel like.
