Hyderabad: L&T Metro Rail (Hyderabad) Limited (L&TMRHL), as part of its transit-oriented development (ToD), has started a unique concept called "Office Bubbles" to offer secured, remote, co-working spaces. Through Office Bubbles, L&TMRHL aims to fulfill the surging demand for co-working spaces and locational flexibility of office spaces in Hyderabad.

This concept is not only a natural and logical choice for start-ups but also large corporations progressing towards co-working spaces owing to the agility and flexibility it offers."
