According to Jacob Jay, founder, Moonlighting - an embassy for entrepreneurs, creators and thinkers - co-working is a movement formed from the emergence of a new class of workers who are typically more professionally independent and less tied to a desk than workers of yore.



"Indeed it has commonalities with the principles of hotdesking (an office system which has multiple workers using a single physical work station during different time periods) within larger companies," Jay told.



He added that most coworking spaces operate in this manner, only sometimes providing a dedicated desk.



"This increases the serendipity and value of bumping into colleagues and other people you might not otherwise. Such creative jobs whilst historically quite lacking in India are fast growing, and these professionals similarly benefit from and need to interact with each other on common ground," he added.



Moonlighting operate as a social enterprise out of two locations - Nehru Place in south Delhi and Gurgaon in Haryana.



It offers a part-time casual plan without hotdesking for 1,500 per month, whilst full-time hotdesking for 6,500, and a private team room starts at around 22,000.
