Founded in New York in 2010, WeWork quickly became the poster child of the coworking industry. Today their footprint spans across 100 cities with over 700+ locations and counting. WeWork entered India in June 2017 with their first space in Bengaluru called WeWork Galaxy. In the short span of 4 years they have expanded their footprint in India to 36 locations across 6 cities.

WeWork is present in the following cities in India :

  • Bengaluru - 13 locations
  • Mumbai -12 locations
  • Gurgaon - 6 locations
  • Hyderabad - 2 locations
  • Noida -1 location
  • Pune - 1 location

WeWork set the benchmark in ambiance and amenities in the coworking sector in India. Having an office at WeWork told the world that "you have arrived". These did come at a steep price for companies. Only large companies and funded startups could afford WeWork.

So what are the alternatives that you have to WeWork in Bengaluru? Let's look at some very inspiring coworking spaces that an early stage startup, small businesses and even freelancers can afford.

Indiqube

Indiqube

Here is the interesting story behind Indiqube. Meghna Agarwal and Rishi Das were working on their company. As their company was growing, they rented out a large 50,000 sq ft space. Since they were not fully utilising the space, they sub-leased the excess capacity to other startups. This started to work out well for them and the startups that were working with them under their roof. This is when they realised that there is a big gap in the commercial real estate offerings for startups. They observed that millennials and startups faced challenges like volatility, high capex, and long-term leases from traditional landlords. This led to the formation of Indiqube in 2015.

Indiqube now operates in 6 cities : Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Noida & Hyderabad. In just Bengaluru alone they have 42 locations. Isn't that amazing? Indiqube has been home to Philips, Myntra, KPMG, EY, Allegis Group, BYJU'S, RedBus, Scripbox, Solv, Enphase, Bira91, Unacademy, Hitachi, Elanco, among others. Enterprises constitute 85% if Indiqube's clientele today.

Some of the locations that they have in Bengaluru are :

Indiqube as a brand has stood out for its design, ambience and amenities that are tailored to the Indian audience. They also come across a brand that provides premium experience and affordable prices.
