Tesco Bengaluru Global Capability Centre

A Zero-Capex, Fully-Managed Workspace Solution Delivered in Record Time

Client Overview

Tesco, one of the world’s leading retailers, operates a major Global Capability Centre (GCC) in Bengaluru, driving engineering, analytics, product development, and global retail innovation. With rapid expansion underway, Tesco required a high-quality, fully managed workspace in Whitefield to accommodate new technology and business teams.

Engagement Overview

Tesco partnered with GoodWorks CoWork, a GoodWorks Group company, to create a 400-seater Grade A office designed, built, and operated end-to-end by GoodWorks. This was a turnkey, zero-capex solution that allowed Tesco to scale quickly without operational or infrastructure burden.

Scope of Engagement

1. Grade A Space Selection in Whitefield

GoodWorks collaborated closely with Tesco’s property management and global workspace teams to:

• Identify prime Grade A commercial spaces in Whitefield
• Evaluate buildings based on compliance, safety, IT readiness, transport flow, and scalability
• Finalise a high-performance workspace aligned with Tesco’s global standards

This ensured Tesco’s teams had a world-class physical environment matching their engineering and digital innovation culture.

2. Award-Winning Interior Design & Fit-Out

GoodWorks designed the entire 400-seater office space—including agile work zones, collaboration areas, breakout spaces, meeting rooms, and team-specific layouts.

The design later contributed to GoodWorks winning the “Best Workspace Design Award – Economic Times Now”, validating the aesthetic, ergonomic, and functional excellence of the space.

Key design highlights:

• Modern, collaborative, GCC-friendly layout
• Branded aesthetic aligned with Tesco’s identity
• Ergonomic furniture & productivity-oriented space planning
• Soundproof meeting rooms & agile sprint zones

3. Rapid Delivery in 30–45 Days

GoodWorks executed the entire project — from design to handover — in an aggressive 30–45 day timeline, enabling Tesco to begin operations without delays.

This speed of delivery is rare in Grade A commercial fit-outs, and was made possible by GoodWorks’ in-house:

• Design team
• Project management unit
• Vendor ecosystem
• Fit-out & technology specialists

4. Fully Managed Office Operations

Beyond construction, GoodWorks took over complete day-to-day management of the center, offering a seamless, hospitality-grade workspace experience:

• Housekeeping & sanitation
• Security & access control
• IT support & network management
• High-speed internet & backup infrastructure
• Electrical, mechanical & facility maintenance
• Water, utilities & vendor coordination
• 24×7 helpdesk

Tesco’s teams only had to focus on their core work — GoodWorks handled everything else.

Impact

1. Zero Capex for Tesco

GoodWorks funded the entire fit-out, furniture, and infrastructure setup — offering Tesco a capital-free expansion model.

2. Fastest Time-to-Productivity

30–45 days to go from “bare shell” to a fully functional, operational workspace.

3. Award-Winning Design

The workspace helped elevate employee experience and reinforced Tesco’s employer brand in India.

4. Fully Outsourced Operations

Tesco’s leadership enjoyed peace of mind with GoodWorks running end-to-end operations.

5. Scalable, Flexible Growth

The space allowed Tesco to quickly expand critical GCC functions without long-term infrastructure commitments.

GoodWorks Group Perspective

“Our engagement with Tesco showcases the power of a zero-capex, fully managed workspace model that lets GCCs scale at speed while maintaining global standards.”
