BEST COWORKING SPACES IN CHENNAI

What is a co working space?

A co working space is a shared office space where companies and individuals can rent seats according to their requirement and collaborate with different people. A free thinking space where people come together to interact, learn, brainstorm and create a culture of shared economy with the goal of taking advantage of diversity – i.e thinking independently together. A space where you can experience the luxury of an aesthetic infrastructure without having to actually incur the huge capitalisations. The membership fee for a coworking space would depend on the type of seating that you opt for – hot desk / open plan seating, dedicated desks or a private office, and the duration.

Why coworking space is better than normal office space?

Conventional way of work is structured in the form of closed cubicles, hours of work that are flexed according to the clock of our bosses and organised in defined charters that are mundane. Running an office in a coffee shop is not viable either as the vibe would be too informal, noisy and distracting for an otherwise serious business. A coworking space combines the best of both worlds by blending the piping hot coffee of cafes with piping hot ideas. An unconventional workspace revolution for startups in Chennai – by not being too rigid like a corporate space and not too much of the banter of quirky coffee shops, either, which is what the young entrepreneurs are on the look-out for.
