Among occupiers considering Tier-II and Tier-III cities, 65% cited access to emerging talent pools as a key consideration.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Nearly half of respondents preferred established core micro-markets, highlighting the importance of mature infrastructure and talent availability.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>AI emerges as key factor in leasing decisions<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>AI is increasingly influencing how companies plan their office spaces. While 93% of respondents said their organisations were at some stage of AI adoption, 57% said AI had not yet had a measurable impact on their leasing strategy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>However, changing AI automation dynamics emerged as the top factor expected to influence leasing decisions over the next 12-24 months, according to the survey.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>CBRE&#8217;s findings also point to a growing role for flexible workspaces. Around 67% of occupiers plan to include flex space in their portfolios within two years, up from 58% currently.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>This indicates a continued shift towards a \u201ccore + flex\u201d workplace model, allowing companies to combine long-term office requirements with greater flexibility and cost management.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2><b>Commute, connectivity shape office location choices<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Location and connectivity are expected to remain central to corporate real estate decisions. 70% of occupiers said they prioritise commute infrastructure when selecting office locations, while 95% identified traffic congestion and commuting as a threat to operations and employee experience.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>The survey&#8217;s findings indicate that India&#8217;s office market is moving towards an \u201cadaptive\u201d workplace model, with office expansion, flexible workspaces, AI-enabled infrastructure and employee accessibility increasingly shaping corporate real estate strategies,
