Starting your business for the first time could be daunting. You don’t really know which way is up or what exactly will be your next move, let alone manage an entire office.


For those sailing in these uncharted waters, co-working spaces act as an anchor. Whether you are a solopreneur, freelancer or a young team of enthusiastic entrepreneurs, a co-working space is a perfect place to start and grow.


A co-working space not just provides you with a place to sit and work from, it also


  • Places you in a highly ambient and nurturing atmosphere. Co-working spaces are built mostly with startups as their main focus.


  • It gives you access to like-minded, close-knit, and success focussed set of professionals who are all driving towards the same goal.


  • It covers your worries of having to spend money and energy on office utilities, admin staff, and other such mundane maintenance issues


  • Some co-working spaces even act as incubators for early-stage startups, and thus are the kick-start most startups need initially.


But given the demand for these spaces increasing, we can see them popping up in every other street. Most are usually overpriced, and some lack basic amenities as well.


In an upcoming city such as Pune, startups are increasing at an exponential rate. Hence, finding the perfect space to set up shop might seem a little confusing. If you pick the right place, your workflow will run, and if pick an annoying and loud space, you are two spaces back.


Here, we list some of the best co-working spaces in Pune. These spaces have been placed after comprehensive research, and will help you make an informed decision on whether the space fits your needs.
