Harshavardhan S MRICS, MCR — Co-Founder
Over the past 17 years, I’ve led real estate and workplace transformations across India and the APAC region for some of the world’s most dynamic organizations — including Netflix, Uber, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield. I’m passionate about creating work environments that balance cost efficiency, sustainability, and human experience. Whether it’s negotiating complex leases across multiple markets, designing hybrid-ready spaces, or embedding ESG principles into every decision, my focus is on driving operational excellence while future-proofing portfolios. At Netflix, I helped scale our India, ANZ, and SEA workplaces delivering a pandemic-era headquarters on time and under budget, cutting regional costs by 15%, and achieving a 35% reduction in carbon footprint through green energy transitions. Before that, at Uber, I reimagined our APAC workplace model through data-driven procurement, reverse auctions, and portfolio standardization that saved over $30M region-wide. I believe that workplaces are living ecosystems; they can reflect brand, empower people, and advance business outcomes when designed with empathy and analytics. My leadership philosophy centers on transparency, empowerment, and collaboration, with teams spanning multiple countries, cultures, and disciplines. Today, I’m deeply interested in how AI, analytics, and digital twins are reshaping CRE decision-making from predictive space planning to sustainability reporting and how leaders can leverage data to drive smarter, greener, and more human workplaces.
