The new asset classes - Co-working, Co-living and Senior living have been the game changer in the real estate market. The economics and business model of these asset classes are very different. Along the journey, many players have got wiped out, and a few have emerged winners. It will be interesting to understand the winning mantra and what lies ahead.

Are business centres, co-working spaces likely to become the new normal post the second wave of COVID-19? Can we expect big investments in the coming years? What are the sentiments of big and small tenants?
What are the operational challenges in a shared consumption model of co-livings in the wake of covid? What will happen post covid? What is the appetite of those running young family housing, student housing? What are the investor sentiments?
How is senior living different from a hotel/facility management service? How big is this opportunity, and why should real estate developers consider this as a part of their bigger projects? How do we change people’s mindset on positioning this asset class beyond the traditional old age homes?
