World over, corporate work spaces are witnessing a massive change in accommodating business. People have already begun questioning whether they want to work for a large institution or venture into new and emerging fields. Trending steadily is the latter - ‘co-work environments’ designed to be the launch pad for people wanting to break-out of the mechanistic office routines and experiment new ways of working.
Why 'co-work'?
Like an incubation centre, a Co-work space meets the collective necessities of individuals venturing into entrepreneurial economy. It is the atmosphere of ambition and synergy that makes the greatest difference for entrepreneurs helping them push for more.
"One key to entrepreneurial success is to get a great group of people around you who believe in your idea." - Richard Branson, founder of virgin group.
Co-working office space is especially rewarding for individuals freelancing on their own and small sized companies requiring only dedicated work desk, who can rent out the facilities like conference room, informal meeting areas, event space etc. As and when the requirement arises. Apart from enjoying common facilities like pantry, recreation area etc. The co-working environments come with a lot of added perks. Just the sheer possibility of meeting new people and exchanging ideas over a coffee, enables positive cross-fertilisation; helping the company and the individual grow greatly.
Bustling with entrepreneurs from diverse fields and age groups, the co-work is a great place to be at to draw inspiration and get creative and innovative in your practise. The place is alive with people making business and having fun at the same time, the music of which is rewardingly infectious making one get more work done.
For example the story of how Instagram founders –Kevin Systrom . and Mike Krieger. Met and how INSTAGRAM took over the world in 3 years is a story that had its humble beginnings at a co-work.
However, when all is said and done, the last-word rests with the affordability factor - ofcourse! And this basic criteria is very well met by the nominally priced - affordable co-working spaces, which is the major attraction in the entire package.
