India ke 99% businesses micro businesses hain, lekin 3–30 logon ki teams ke liye affordable aur professional private office space easily available nahi hai, Alt.F isi gap ko solve karta hai.
Journey ki shuruaat ek OYO guest house ke basement se hui, jahan 2 dining tables aur 2 seats se experiment start hua. In 2 seats se ₹10,000 generate hue, jisse furniture add kiya gaya. Dheere-dheere wahi basement 60-seat coworking space ban gaya aur ₹3 lakh rent generate karne laga.
Yahin se clear hua ki small businesses ko bade open offices nahi, balki apni private working space chahiye.
Alt.F 4, 8 aur 16-seat private cabins ke through 3–30 seater teams ko workspace deta hai. Pricing around ₹7,000 per seat hai, jabki premium coworking mein ye ₹15,000–₹17,000 tak ho sakti hai. Iski 99.9% inventory rooms mein hai aur occupancy 90%+ rehti hai.
Company ka asset-light model landlords ke saath 70:30 profit-sharing par operate karta hai. Aaj Alt.F 12 locations aur 7,000+ seats tak pahunch chuka hai. 6 new locations sign ho chuki hain, jo 4,000 seats add karengi.
Vision simple hai: har city mein micro business ko macro feel dena. Chaliye dekhte hain Alt.F ki Sales, Unit Economics aur Deal kya hai.

Peyush ne valuation ko EBITDA ke basis par ₹50 Cr ke aas-paas justify kiya, jabki founders higher growth, business model aur future scale ko dekhte hue ₹133.33 Cr valuation defend kar rahe the.
Peyush ne ₹1 Cr for 2% ka offer diya, jise founders ne 1% par counter kiya, Peyush ne final ₹1 Cr for 1.5% offer diya. Founders ne last mein ₹1 Cr for 1.25% ka counter diya, lekin Peyush Bansal ne ise reject kar diya.
