Cumulative economic cost, month by month. Where the lines cross is your break-even.
The cheap-looking option is often the expensive one. These are the traps we watch for on every client mandate.
A ₹12,000 desk can cost more than an ₹18,000 one once you add fit-out capex, deposit, CAM and self-run ops. Compare the all-in number over the full term.
A 6-month conventional deposit is refundable — but it's capital locked for the whole term. Price what that money would have earned working elsewhere.
Most Gurugram leases carry ~15% escalation every 3 years. Negotiate the base rent, not just the starting rate — escalation compounds on the base.
Loading in older buildings can hit 40–45%. You pay rent on super area but sit in carpet area. Push for 30–33% loading, and verify the OC and Fire NOC.
A 5-year lock-in on a headcount you can't forecast is the most expensive mistake of all. Match tenure to how confident you are about growth.
Meeting-room overages, printing, guest passes and setup fees turn a clean quote messy. Get the full rate card before you sign, not after.
It depends on team size, term and headcount stability. For teams under ~40 seats or with uncertain headcount and a short horizon, a managed office is usually cheaper on a total-cost basis because it removes fit-out capex, a 6-month deposit and self-run operations. For stable teams of roughly 50+ seats over a 4–5 year term with specific fit-out needs, a conventional lease can win once the upfront capex is amortised. The number that decides it is total cost of occupancy over the full term — not the per-seat sticker price.
The all-in cost of running an office over the term. For a conventional lease: base rent + escalation, CAM/maintenance, one-time fit-out capex, the opportunity cost of the security deposit, and self-run operating costs (utilities, housekeeping, IT, reception, security). For a managed office: the all-inclusive per-seat fee over the term plus a smaller refundable deposit. TCO is the right basis for comparison because the headline per-seat rate hides fit-out, deposit and operating overheads.
Roughly ₹55–90/sq ft/month in value corridors (Udyog Vihar, Sohna Road, New Gurugram), ₹90–160/sq ft on MG Road, Golf Course Extension and Sector 44, and ₹130–260/sq ft on Golf Course Road and in Cyber City. Standard leases run 3–5 years with a 3-year lock-in and ~15% escalation every 3 years.
All-inclusive: roughly ₹9,000–₹13,000/seat/month in value corridors, ₹13,000–₹18,000 in mid-tier corridors, and ₹18,000–₹28,000+ on Golf Course Road and in Cyber City. The rate bundles rent, fit-out, internet, power, housekeeping, reception and maintenance into one monthly figure.
It gives a defensible planning estimate using 2026 NCR market ranges. Real quotes depend on the specific building, floor plate, loading factor, fit-out spec, landlord contribution and negotiation.
