WeWork teams up with American Express to offer discounts in India

With Innov8's recent buyout by OYO, WeWork looks to compete with Awfis, 91springboard and other giants in India's coworking sector.

Now cardholders of American Express in India would be able to avail discounted coworking services at SoftBank-backed WeWork’s centers in India as the two companies have partnered to provide up to 25 percent off to cardholders on private offices and conference rooms across 10 WeWork locations in India.

American Express customers having centurion cards, platinum cards, or platinum reserve credit cards would be able to avail the offer, the company said in a statement, as it looks to support them “with business tools, space and the technology they need to take their business even further,” said Manoj Adlakha, CEO, American Express India.

American Express would offer its platinum corporate card customers ‘Global Access’ to WeWork centers at 485 locations in 105 cities globally later this year.

Companies operating out of WeWork across the world claim that has “accelerated their company’s growth,” said Ryan Bennett, Co-CEO, WeWork India.

WeWork has scaled to 21 locations across Mumbai, Gurugram, and Bengaluru in just around 20 months since its launch in India and would “expand to other cities scheduled, including Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune, in the second half of 2019,” the company said in its Global Impact Report in April this year.
