The trends surrounding the IT industry are almost as fast as the industry itself. The trend of coworking in India is growing at a lightning pace and most of us know the reason for it — more and more conventional employees turning towards freelancing and many entrepreneurs spreading their wings and starting businesses of their own!

Ideally, what would be the first thing one would need after deciding to start a business, apart from the very obvious things like employees, a name for the company and a logo? An office? Yes! A house ‘can’ double up as an office, but only for so long. Before you know it, you’re craving for the convenience of a large screen (projector) and a remote printer. Also, you slowly tend to realize that being around the television or your pet isn’t any good for your productivity.

The whole process of starting a new business and working out of nearby coworking spaces, using them for meetings and discussions is almost similar to gardening. You plant a seed in the right type of soil, feed it the right amount of water, care for it and you will soon see it grow and bear fruits. That’s just how a new company works as well. A coworking space gives new companies the right platform to build themselves upon.

Coworking, as a practice, is already established in some of the big cities in India. Places like Bangalore, Chennai, New Delhi, Pune and Mumbai already have plenty of good coworking spaces where entrepreneurs can set up their new businesses. One of the ways to look at it is that the coworking trend goes wherever the startup company trend goes.

Let us take a look at the growing coworking trend across India.

Coimbatore
With TIDEL Park housing some of the biggest names in the IT world, it would not come as a surprise if the upcoming league of entrepreneurs and future listed companies take their first step from a temporary office space. Regus,a coworking offers Srivari Srimath. There are also others like SJA Real Estate seeing a rise in the number of takers.

Chandigarh

In one of India’s most modern cities, while Regus offers Harmony, there are others likeStartHub Nation and Wotta Workspace that can give you and your new business a new home and more.

Ahmedabad
Working Company is a big name in Ahmedabad that provides a suitable coworking culture to improve productivity and creativity. Apart from monthly plans, they also offer an option to try them out for a day. Other names areOpenxcell Technology Center and Ebony Business Center.

Jaipur

Startup Oasis and Thinkspace are popular coworking spaces in the Pink City. We expect to see many coworking spaces cropping up here in the near future.

Coworking is definitely trending and it is trending all across India. The credit towards this rise goes not just to the many upcoming coworking spaces and the ones already established, but also to the end user — the dreamer — the people on a mission — YOU! If you’re someone planning to start a new business, we are quite positive that you’ll benefit from working out of a coworking space over your home or wasting precious time and working capital over searching for an office space.

Coming to that, if you are thinking of finding a great coworking space around you, think of SNEED, your one stop shop to a suitable coworking space for you and your business.
