With the co-working concept taking off in India, Hyderabad-based iKeva aims to help the startup community function in a more flexible, collaborative and productive manner.
A concept that has evolved in the West, co-working is growing on people in India. Apart from providing an efficient working space, the open, barrier-less office culture plays a critical role in building a community of like-minded people.
Coffee shops and cafes still may be important meeting locations, but they’ve made way for co-working spaces that foster creativity and communication. Not only are they cost effective, shared offices are equipped with everything an office needs – meeting rooms, great Wi-Fi connectivity and the much-needed foosball tables.
Things have changed from a decade back when the idea was to use basic infrastructure and resources that working from home couldn’t provide. With time, the co-working concept began to evolve. It was something Monika Mishra, working in the real estate sector, noticed. She saw that most people would inquire or look for productive work spaces for smaller teams.
She soon established iKeva, a co-working space that other than solving the problem of providing shared workspaces for firms focuses on bringing like-minded professionals together to build and grow through each other’s network.
