Ginger Dhaliwal didn’t plan to end up in coworking—or in tech at all. Her journey from social work to startup founder spans continents, industries, and a through-line of solving human-centered problems. As co-founder of Upflex, she’s now at the intersection of workplace experience, real estate tech, and the flex ecosystem.
In this episode, we cover:
Ginger’s global path from social impact to launching R&D labs, tech startups, and eventually, Upflex.
The core challenges of aggregating coworking inventory—and why brokers and operators have been slow to adapt.
Upflex’s unique strategy: white-label partnerships with brokerages, airport lounge operators, and the U.S. government.
How Ginger thinks AI will reduce booking friction, improve workspace recommendations, and drive industry-wide transformation.
Why coworking is evolving from access-based models to experience-driven destinations—and what that means for operators.
Ginger shares her vision of a future where space is dynamically allocated, demand is driven by intelligent systems, and coworking plays a key role in restoring human connection.
