WeWork India Management Ltd (1690124D IN), operating independently, has turned profitable and is preparing for an IPO via an OFS, diverging from its troubled global parent.
The OFS structure, driven by a revenue-sharing model and a focus on enterprise clients, demonstrates strong operational resilience and an asset-light business model.
Investors can re-assess risk and growth potential as WeWork India’s strategic shift, improved governance, and profitability offer a compelling alternative to its global counterpart as well as other competitor.
