Last week I had my 1st co-working experience at The Bombay Hub.
They were hosting the Mumbai chapter of International Jelly Week.
Co-working spaces are not a new concept in Europe and the US.
In fact, last year my friend JP Chaclan from Guatemala was researching about bringing the concept to India.
For a city like Mumbai that’s deprived of space and startups and entrepreneurs mushrooming like jobs were so 20th Century, I think co-working is going to be the rule soon.
Currently you’d see this happening across cafes (Coffee Bean, Bandra being the best example), but reliable and scalable infrastructure is something only a designated co-working space can provide.
Consider the advantages of a co-working space as opposed to renting your own space as a freelancer / startup:
- Shared costs and resources, resulting in optimum allocation, minimal wastage
- Domain expertise / knowledge sharing among peers
- Strong support system, especially for small businesses
- Opportunities and possibilities from networking
- Discovery and constant learning
