Amit Banerji, the visionary founder, chairman, and CEO of Table Space, a leading managed workspace solutions provider, has passed away at the age of 45. The company announced his untimely demise on January 6, though the immediate cause remains unknown. Media reports suggest he may have suffered a heart attack.

"Amit was a visionary leader who transformed the flexible workspace solution industry in India. His impact on the company, its people, and the industry will be lasting, and he will be profoundly missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this difficult time."
Banerji founded Table Space in 2017, envisioning a managed workspace provider catering to large and mid-market tenants. Under his leadership, the company grew to work with global Fortune 500 firms such as Google, Apple, and Dell, becoming a market leader in enterprise managed workspaces. Table Space is backed by global private equity firm Hillhouse Capital and is gearing up for an IPO in 2025, aiming to raise over INR 3,500 crore at a valuation of USD 2.5 billion.
Banerji's BIZ Experiencesial journey was rooted in his early professional experiences.

He co-founded Table Space with a strong leadership team, including Vice-Chairman Karan Chopra and President Kunal Mehra, among others.
