The co-working segment has made a robust comeback in India. But the surprising bit is that leading corporates and brands are coming on-board the shared economy as occupiers alongside SMEs, start-ups, and freelancers.
But, But, But...
Please note that it’s not enough to merely be a part of the co-working ecosystem today. Here’s a list of indispensable tech to keep things chugging along smoothly.
📶 Good Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi is your backbone. Secure connections, quick downloads, smooth conferencing and cloud connectivity are the need of the hour. Private networks are most welcome.
📽 Presentation Stuff - Co-working spaces should have on-site projectors, whiteboards, audio and other equipment for those killer presentations.
⏺ Recording Gear - It doesn’t hurt to have a recording set-up, complete with lighting, cameras, microphones, tripods and app support. We sense more training videos and podcasts in the pipeline.
👩💻 Suitable Furniture - It’s not enough to have a computer; you’ll need the right chair too. Oh yeah, and the perfect workstation too. Basically, a ton of ergonomic furniture, well-equipped meeting/conference areas and dedicated desks.
📠 Hardware Requirements - It’s still an office, so scanners, fax machines (seriously?), printers, telephones, paper shredders and photocopiers are par for the course (and we could do with available tech support, you know).
📎 P.S. Extra headphones and chargers please. You’ll probably need a few handy cables as well, because problems of length are the toughest to solve. Like, ever.
