WeWork India Launches Rivet Design and Build Platform

WeWork India Management Limited announced the launch of Rivet by WeWork India, a design-and-build platform intended to provide integrated workspace solutions for enterprises and end users. The company also named Arnav S. Gusain as Chief Executive Officer of Rivet while he continues to serve as Chief Supply Officer at WeWork India.

According to the company, Rivet will offer end-to-end services covering workspace design, engineering, construction, and delivery under a single contract. The platform aims to address challenges in India’s design-and-build ecosystem, where enterprises often manage multiple vendors for different stages of office development.

WeWork India said the platform builds on its experience designing and operating commercial workspaces across industries, including global enterprises and startups. Rivet’s model integrates planning, execution, and delivery, supported by building information modeling (BIM), real-time site monitoring, and financial governance systems intended to improve cost visibility and project timelines.

The launch comes as India’s commercial office market continues to expand. According to JLL, gross leasing activity reached 83.3 million square feet in 2025. WeWork India said growing enterprise expansion and the rapid growth of global capability centers have increased demand for customized office environments.

Karan Virwani, managing director and CEO of WeWork India, said the platform combines operational experience and execution capability to deliver commercial workspaces at scale.

Gusain said Rivet will integrate real estate insights with design and execution planning to help enterprises develop workspaces aligned with operational and cultural needs.

WeWork India said Rivet has already completed several projects, including office developments totaling more than 100,000 square feet with a combined project value of about ₹50 crore. The company currently operates across eight Indian cities with more than 121,000 desks.
