Srishti Dhir graduated from University of Warwick in 2010 and completed her Masters in Management from London Business School in 2011.
Her educational background built a solid basis in financial analysis, organised decision making and sustainable value generation. These principles later became the backbone of Hub and Oak’s approach to real estate.
Hub and Oak began in 2017 with the first centre in coworking designed specifically for professionals like lawyers and CAs. This was the first coworking space in India that understood professionals needed access to convenient workspace options and coworking wasn’t just for startups.
Managing coworking spaces provided direct insights to the complete cycle of commercial real estate. Every centre required lease negotiations, engagement with the landlord, space planning and day to day operations.
This phase uncovered a key insight.
Real estate is more than just a transaction. It concerns selection, structuring and management of assets. Coworking became the foundation for everything that followed.

Many investors were looking for yield generating commercial real estate opportunities but did not have access to curated deals and organised advisory services.
Hub and Oak expanded into investment advisory to address this gap.

Over time, Hub and Oak became a platform that operates across:
Interiors was launched as an extension of the client lifecycle and later developed into a separate vertical called ‘Hub and Oak Interiors’.
Across all the verticals, Srishti Dhir’s approach remains consistent:
Real estate must be approached with:
In a market that is fragmented and focused on transactions, this method provides
clarity for both occupiers and investors.
Hub and Oak is focused on growing its position as a real estate advisory and investment platform.
Focusing on:
The journey of Hub and Oak showcases an evolution shaped by real market demands.
From coworking in 2017 to real estate consulting amid COVID, to commercial leasing, investment advisory and property management.
Every step has been a response to gaps observed in the market.
Srishti Dhir is at the core of this development.
Her ability in merging structured thinking with on ground experience
has enabled Hub and Oak to move beyond traditional brokerage and establish itself as a real estate advisory and investment platform.
In real estate, long term success is not defined by transactions
