Why Rent a Furnished Office Space For Your Team?
by ZIOKS 19 . Mar . 2024
ZIOKS had finished the brainstorming phase for our shared office space in Kolkata and started the action phase by early 2018. We scouted locations for a while, and ended up settling on one in Sector V. We believed it was the right mix of factors we wanted to define the coworking space- a tech hub near a metro hub, with restaurants and other amenities nearby.
After securing the space, we immediately began working on plans. We knew we wanted the right mix of flex seating, personal “pods”, as well as more traditional offices. We also began the work of figuring out what sort of amenities we could offer- which ones were feasible, and which ones were not. After these decisions were made, we came up with a floor plan, and got started with interior design and construction.
Then, the pandemic happened. As with businesses in almost any sector, this was a major disruption in our plans. We knew it was no longer possible to finish construction and open anywhere near our original target date. We also had to reevaluate the future of coworking spaces. What would they look like after the pandemic? Would their popularity be affected? Would we be able to accommodate our new health-safety considerations?
In the end, we decided it was important to move forward with the project. We believed in the efficacy of coworking spaces. While many companies have moved away from traditional office work, and some will keep this trend to save money, many people much prefer an office space to working from home.
Development continued slowly throughout 2020- or rather as quickly as possible with difficulties getting building materials as well as contractors. There was a squeeze caused by both production shortages from the pandemic and increased demand as some companies choose the time with everyone out of the office to do renovations.
With ZIOKS opening, we are proud of what we have achieved despite the challenges. We didn’t need to cut down on size or amenities, and were able to open a coworking space without compromises. We believe that we have created the perfect environment for those with office jobs that have been shed by the work from home movement. Working from home is not for everybody, nor does everyone have a home environment conducive to work.
At ZIOKS, you will experience all of the amenities of a traditional office, but better.
Let’s take a look…
A reception area where guests can sign in and be directed to their office.
The lowest cost option, members with access may use an available spot whenever they wish. This is the perfect option for the individual who needs a flexible place to work in the city, or the visitor who needs a temporary arrangement.
Offering more privacy than flex seating, these are still a cost smart option for a single member to get a space to work. Unlike flex seating, these are allocated to you. Perfect for the member that doesn’t need their own office, but needs a spot they can come to every day.
We offer offices in a variety of sizes, a perfect dedicated workspace for your small business. Some have a “cabin”, containing a desk in its own room. The sizes range from 5 seats all the way to 21!
