Listing the benefits of working out of a coworking space, Pranav Bhatia, founder, Stirring Minds, a coworking hub in central Delhi, said that such places offer advantages when individuals start their own work as they have little support system in place.



"In a corporate setting most individuals handle a particular task, and for the rest you have different functional departments.



"But when you startup you have everything to be done by yourself. A coworking environment gives you the comfort of a support system to do your startup as it expands your business network, get motivated by seeing others working hard and you don't have to get involved in managing the hassles of ensuring water in dispensers, refilling ink, managing power, internet and admin stuff," Bhatia said.



But do such places not have their own set of limitations?



"The whole workspace is fashioned in a manner where there are three zones, each with its own vibe. There's a whole section, which by nature of design, is a quieter workspace, next to which is a massive long table which is for those in the mood for a light day at work, intermittent with chats," Amlani said.



He added that there is a third, slightly more bustling section, where people regularly take calls and hangout for quick chats.



"As for private, we have a separate meeting room which can be booked for meetings and internet calls," he said.



While agreeing that such spaces do have shortcomings, Chatterji said they are also a pool of ideas.



"The place I go to, you have a non-work area where people can come out for a phone call or a smoke. Here, you tend to catch up with other workers with whom you might just share a common liking or idea," he said.
