Directors
Confirmed3 directors, DINs corroborated by 2 independent sources (Falconebiz DIN table + Tofler):
| Name | DIN | Role | Appointed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheshagiri Rao Krishnakumar Paplikar | 06827454 | Director since incorporation 17 Dec 2014; designated CEO TheCompanyCheck lists a re-appointment/CEO designation dated 22 Jul 2024 | - |
| Monnappa (Muthappa) Bayavanda | 07677019 | Director; appointment date conflicts across sources: 26 Dec 2016 Falconebiz vs 10 Sep 2018 TheCompanyCheck vs "8-year tenure" Tofler, consistent with ~2018 | - |
| Arun Narayan | 08218580 | Director; appointment date conflicts: 10 Sep 2018 Falconebiz vs 02 Feb 2024 TheCompanyCheck vs "2-year tenure" Tofler, consistent with ~2024 | - |
Financials
Partial / conflictingLatest audited FY: FY2025 (year ended 31 March 2025), standalone (entity-level, not consolidated — no consolidation basis disclosed by sources).
| Revenue | ₹254.53 Cr per TheCompanyCheck; Tofler brackets it "₹200-300 Cr" with +44.58% YoY growth — the two are consistent, so revenue is treated as confirmed at ≈₹250-255 Cr, up ~44-45% YoY |
|---|---|
| EBITDA | absolute figure locked/paywalled on both Tofler and TheCompanyCheck; Tofler shows +18.9% YoY change only |
| PAT (Net Profit) | absolute figure locked; Tofler shows a sharp decline of -84.16% YoY (despite revenue and EBITDA growth — plausible if driven by one-off costs, impairment, or expansion capex/interest; not independently corroborated) |
| Net worth | absolute figure locked; +16.98% YoY per Tofler |
| Total borrowings | absolute figure locked; +127.57% YoY per Tofler; Tofler separately computes debt-to-equity at 2.46, indicating elevated leverage — consistent with the large recent charge creation (see Charges) and the pre-IPO debt-plus-equity raise reported for late 2025 |
| Total assets | +137.94% YoY per Tofler (unaudited change metric only) |
All absolute rupee figures beyond revenue are "not obtained" (premium/paywalled on both aggregators); YoY percentage changes are reported as-is from Tofler.
Funding
Partial / conflicting- One confirmed recent event: BHIVE Workspace (Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd) was reported in advanced talks / execution to raise ~₹400 Cr in a pre-IPO round combining debt and equity (~₹100 Cr equity component), per YourStory (Dec 2025) and corroborated by an Economic Times headline
- Reported investor interest: high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and existing investors (per BHIVE's own site, as relayed in the YourStory piece) — no individual investor names confirmed
- IPO targeted for calendar year 2027
- CEO Shesh Rao Paplikar quoted on timeline
- No named prior institutional funding rounds (seed/Series A/B) could be located via available sources — company may have been largely founder/promoter and debt funded prior to this raise, but absence of evidence is not confirmation of absence
- Tracxn could not be accessed to check for a funding-round-name-only cross-reference (404 on attempted URL)
Charges
Confirmed- Open charges ≈₹87.95 Cr
- satisfied charges ≈₹5.2 Cr (Falconebiz)
- Lender breakdown per Tofler: HDFC Bank Limited — 3 loans, ₹25.6 Cr
- ICICI Bank Limited — 2 loans, ₹23.3 Cr
- Tata Capital Limited — 1 loan, ₹20.0 Cr (created 1 July 2025, the most recent charge)
- Falconebiz's aggregation differs slightly (HDFC ₹25.62 Cr
- "Others" ₹62.33 Cr bucket) — the two sources agree closely on HDFC's exposure but bucket the remaining lenders differently
- treated as confirmed for HDFC/ICICI/Tata Capital, partial for the full lender list
- "No open charges beyond these" is not asserted — per the standard aggregator caveat, absence of a charge listing elsewhere means no *further open* charge found, not none ever filed
Legal
ConfirmedIndian Kanoon shows multiple ongoing/recent civil and commercial disputes involving the company (both as plaintiff and defendant), consistent with a real-estate/leasing-heavy business model:
- Godolphine India Pvt Ltd vs Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd — Karnataka High Court (filings dated 7 Feb 2024 and 25 Jan 2025)
- Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd vs Godolphine India Pvt Ltd — Supreme Court Daily Orders (16 Feb 2024) — same dispute on appeal
- M/S Globussoft vs M/S Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd — Karnataka High Court (18 Feb 2026)
- M/S General Construction Company vs Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd — Karnataka High Court (7 Feb 2023)
- Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd vs M/D D Vois Communications Pvt Ltd — Karnataka High Court (8 Jul 2025)
- Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd vs RSG India Advanced Technologies — Bangalore District Court (7 Apr 2026)
- Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd vs Idos India Pvt Ltd — Bangalore District Court (4 Apr 2025)
- Tusker Workspace Pvt Ltd vs Fliqa Reality Pvt Ltd & Others — Bangalore District Court (10 Feb 2025)
No case outcomes/amounts extracted (Indian Kanoon search-result snippets only, not full judgments read). Nature appears to be ordinary commercial/leasing/vendor litigation typical of a multi-location coworking operator, not regulatory or criminal action.
Competitors
ConfirmedIndia coworking / managed-office-space peers (named, scale is approximate and self-reported by each company, not independently verified in this fetch):
- WeWork India — larger footprint, recently listed (IPO 2025), pan-India, premium enterprise focus
- Awfis Space Solutions — listed (BSE/NSE, IPO 2024), broadly comparable-to-larger scale, pan-India
- Smartworks Coworking — listed (IPO 2025), larger enterprise-managed-office focus, pan-India
- IndiQube (Indiqube Spaces) — recently listed, comparable scale, Bengaluru-heavy footprint similar to BHIVE
- 91springboard — smaller/similar-scale coworking chain, multi-city
- Innov8 Coworking (part of OYO group) — similar-to-smaller scale, multi-city
BHIVE/Tusker Workspace is Bengaluru-concentrated (with a new Mumbai entry) versus most peers' broader pan-India spread; it is pursuing an IPO for CY2027, placing it in the same "coworking operators approaching/at public markets" cohort as Awfis, Smartworks and WeWork India.
