Coworking Spaces in Jaipur

The pink city of India, Jaipur, has been at the top of everyone’s travel list, whether it’s the domestic crowd or international tourists pouring from all across the world. A culturally-charged city with a lot to offer on the heritage front, Jaipur has also earned accolades for providing coming-of-age work experience for those who choose the city as their work land.

With palaces adorning the corners of the city, rich food treating your taste buds to an appetizing ride, Jaipur has come a long way from being the “tourists’ hotspot” to a hub for start-ups and entrepreneurial endeavours. Today, it houses some of the big names of the tech industry and has established a sturdy market for new businesses to hold their ground.

What is the work culture in Jaipur?

The last decade has seen an influx of diverse organisations into the city of Jaipur. What earlier used to be known for its charismatic cultural heritage, has now opened the floor for technological advancement. Before globalisation stepped afoot in this city, the majority of the population in Jaipur was either involved in the tourism industry or the agriculture business. However, with international organisations making large strides across the country, Jaipur was not about to sit back and lose out on the opportunity to become more relevant in the global context.

Since Jaipur warmed up to technological advancements and organisations a little later than other major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, the pace of development on the business front was slow. However, if you glance at the city on this very day, you can witness a perfect amalgamation of culture, technology and business.

Coworking spaces in Jaipur - the city’s approach towards them

As the relevance of the idea of entrepreneurship enhanced across the country, it became imperative to set up office spaces that are contrasting to the dull conventional office setting and make up for an environment where ideas can be nurtured and executed. Jaipur’s approach towards the coworking culture and the inclusion of the gig economy (comprising individual contractors and freelancers) was gradual, however, with time the city became more accepting of the unconventional work setting. Today, the city houses some of the most affordable and creative shared office spaces in the country.

Why are coworking spaces right for you?

Imagine how tedious a job it would be to find a coffee shop that allows you to work in peace? Even if you decide to work from home for days on end, have you thought how your social presence can take a hit? While working from home or out of a coffee shop might seem like a tangible option once in a while, committing to it, in the long run, can affect your professional health. Here’s where coworking spaces come in, to provide you with a perfect cross between a café and office, and offering you a workspace clubbed with relaxation. If this is not reason enough to choose coworking spaces, the following factors can seal the deal for you!

• Affordability: Renting an entire office space can cut a large hole through your pocket and it is not just about rent! If you decide to rent a space, along with it will come the need to pay a security amount (which could up to 10 months’ worth of rent!), maintenance costs, electricity bills, furniture and much more. A coworking space, on the other hand, lets you worry only about getting your business to flourish and everything else is taken care of. In fact, many coworking spaces today offer state-of-the-art facilities at cheap and affordable prices. Working out of shared office spaces is a great way to channel your financial resources and energy on more productive avenues.
   
• Networking and skill development: Working in the vicinity of great minds from diverse backgrounds can help you improve your professional skills while at the same time contribute to enhancing your personality. A coworking space provides you with a platform to collaborate with professionals who possess a wide range of skill sets, have excellent business acumen and sometimes this comes in handy when you are in the process of setting up a business. Furthermore, this is a great opportunity for building a strong professional network.
