Coworking in Mohali: areas, costs and how to choose
Mohali is the IT arm of the Chandigarh tricity. Here is how Phase 8, IT City, Sector 67 and Airport Road compare, and what to check before you book.
In this guide
Mohali is the IT arm of the Chandigarh tricity. Alongside Chandigarh and Panchkula, it forms one of north India's most liveable urban areas, and its newer offices along Airport Road and in IT City have attracted technology companies, startups and outsourced service teams. Flexible workspaces here serve development teams, digital agencies, education companies, consultants and remote employees. This guide explains the main areas, how to think about cost and what to check before you choose.
Mohali's business areas
Phase 8
Phase 8 and the industrial area around it are home to many established IT and services companies. It suits technology teams that want to be among peers, and businesses that hire from the existing tech workforce.
IT City
IT City is a newer area planned for technology offices. It suits growing teams that want modern buildings, room to expand and a focused work setting.
Sector 67
Sector 67 is a well-connected sector with commercial and residential development. It suits small teams and professionals who want a central Mohali address without being on the busiest roads.
Airport Road
Airport Road connects the tricity to the airport and has seen a lot of new commercial building. It suits teams that travel often, companies that want newer premises, and anyone whose staff live along this corridor.
Commute and access in the tricity
The tricity is well planned, with wide roads and a sector-based layout that makes addresses easy to find. Most people commute by car or two-wheeler, so ask about parking. Many employees live in Chandigarh or Panchkula and travel to Mohali each day, so check the drive at peak hours from where your team actually lives. If you fly often for work, a space on Airport Road can save time. Technology teams that support clients abroad may also work late shifts, so check whether the space offers cab drop-off points, lighting and security after dark.
Workspace options
Coworking spaces in Mohali typically offer hot desks, dedicated desks, private cabins, meeting rooms and sometimes larger managed floors for growing companies. Development teams usually take a cabin so they have a stable setup, while freelancers and remote employees often prefer a dedicated desk. Some spaces offer extended access hours to suit teams working across time zones.
A virtual office in Mohali gives you a Punjab business address for GST registration and company registration. This is an important local point: Mohali is in Punjab, while Chandigarh is a union territory. An address in Mohali registers your business in Punjab, so pick the location that matches where you supply goods or services. You can check the official requirements on the GST portal.
What affects the cost
Prices vary with the area, the building and the inclusions. Newer buildings in IT City or along Airport Road may price differently from older premises in Phase 8. Compare the full package: air conditioning, internet, power backup, housekeeping, refreshments, meeting room hours, parking and after-hours access. Ask how GST is added to the rent, and if you are a GST-registered business, whether you can claim input tax credit on it. Our article on GST on coworking rent and input tax credit explains how this works.
How to choose
Start with your team's location and working hours. If your people live across the tricity, think about which side of Mohali is easiest for most of them. If you work night shifts, prioritise security, access and transport. If you expect to grow, look at spaces that can offer larger cabins or a managed floor later. Companies with teams in several cities may find our guide to hub-and-spoke offices for hybrid teams useful. Shortlist up to four spaces and look at them on the compare page.
Hiring is another reason to think about location. Many experienced technology professionals in the tricity already work in Mohali, and an office in a familiar area such as Phase 8 or IT City can make your job offers easier to accept, because candidates will not need to change their daily routine.
