Conceptualised and created by Mrs.Kalpana Poddar, Cospacio is the latest business venture of the Celica Group, the Kolkata based corporate house founded by her husband Mr. Mayank Poddar early in the 1980s. Today, nearly five decades later, Celica is a much-respected conglomerate, encompassing multiple industry verticals such as retailing of marquee automobile brands, property development & management, hospitality and healthcare – with a footprint extending well beyond West Bengal.
Celica is best known for having promoted Magma Fincorp, a leading NBFC with significant presence in the asset finance and affordable home finance sectors. At its zenith, Magma extended services to over four million customers through a workforce of nearly 10,000 employees, and efficiently managed an AUM of Rs.20,000 crores. In 2021, the majority ownership of Magma was acquired by the Poonawalla Group, a strategic move that unlocked significant value for all stakeholders involved.
Ever focussed on the creation of enduring, compelling and innovative businesses, Celica is committed to delivering value that enriches the lives of its customers and stakeholders.
Today, Celica is proud to present Cospacio, a premium serviced office and coworking centre located at the heart of the city’s business and entertainment district, conceived with the aim of creating a vibrant hub for professionals seeking a dynamic and collaborative work environment at the best address in town.
A visionary, Mr Poddar is the man behind the brand – Celica. What he envisaged early in the 80s, is a reality today. An entrepreneur par excellence, he believes in enabling and empowering his team to achieve wonderful results. The Chairman and Chief Mentor of the Group, Mr Poddar actively contributes to policy formulation, while he guides and supports the management teams to achieve the established corporate objectives and growth. He also spearheads the CSR initiatives of the group that embrace the idea of inclusive growth that goes beyond mere profit generation.
Cospacio is the brainchild of Mrs. Poddar, where she has combined elegance, comfort, technology and service excellence to create this luxury serviced office centre where members can connect, share ideas, network and support each other’s professional growth. Her passion for creativity and understanding of business necessities along with her intrinsic knack for efficient space management and an eye for details have been the key drivers behind the creation of Cospacio. Each element of nature – earth, air and water – have been combined intelligently to create an environment so energy friendly and wellness focussed that, in her words, at Cospacio “work can become meditation and the workspace can be your own cove of positivity”.
A passionate, high energy and exceptionally talented creative person, Mrs. Poddar is also the brain behind Zyva, an exclusive line of handcrafted semi-precious jewellery inspired by nature’s beauty. Over the past decade, she has established her jewellery line as an embodiment of class, elegance, pure beauty and joy. Zyva today is a recognised amongst celebrities who covet niche and unique creations.
Cospacio’s vision is to be the premier serviced office and coworking destination that redefines productivity amidst luxury, fostering an exclusive, sophisticated and inspiring environment where professionals and businesses can thrive and grow.
It believes in the power of collaboration and aim to build a strong community that encourages creativity, innovation and meaningful connections enabling overall development.
We seek to build a corporate culture that encourages enterprise and enhances corporate vitality. Our focus will always be on nurturing the creativity and ability of our employees, with an equitable system of evaluation and rewards. Only with a motivated and happy team can you create the customer experience we aspire to provide.
To produce value that people respect on a sustained basis, we must remain keenly aware of the customer's evolving needs. The true measure of success is always surpassing customer expectations through the products, services and, most importantly, the interaction experience that we offer. At the end of the day people must always believe their professional lives have been enriched as a result of interacting with us.
As a good corporate citizen, it is important to give back to the ecosystem that nurtured us since inception. We must conduct our corporate activities with concern for the environment and fulfill our corporate social responsibility with honesty, humility and sincerity.
