Quick Answer: A Flexi Desk is a hybrid between hot desk and dedicated desk. You book in advance (by day, week or month) and get a guaranteed seat, but not always the same seat. More reliable than hot desk, cheaper than dedicated. Most providers offer day passes (₹500, ₹1,000) or monthly flexi plans (₹4,000, ₹7,000).
Flexi desk emerged as coworking matured. Traditional hot desks have no booking, first come first served. Dedicated desks are fixed but expensive. Flexi desk is pre-booked, guaranteed availability, and increasingly common at premium coworking centres. Many centres also offer "flexi credits", use when you need, don't pay when you don't.
