On Demand :

We are adopting on-

demand model. We

like

to order when we

need.

On Demand: We hire when we need

Sharing : We are sharing what we don’t use

Sharing Economy Evolution

Office spaces of the past:

Office space of Today: Open, collaborative

Typical workspace @ home: No Evolution

Prison cell: Very similar to our @ home workspace

Why are we punishing ourselves?

Shouldn’t we be

rewarding

ourselves for

working hard and

earning?

Introducing: Coworking

What is Coworking?

• Personal choice to work along side other

people

instead of in isolation.

• Community

• Innovation space

• Connection space

• Collaboration space

• Ground zero for early adopters

Coworking spaces world wide :

Coworking is Not cheap office space

We used to love our old mobile phone

We loved the ability to connect anytime

Example: Mobile Phone

Example: Mobile Phone (2)

Then came

blackberry and

we wondered

how did we

survive without

it. We loved it

Example: Mobile Phone (3)

And now SMART

phones. We are

addicted to it.

Can not live without

it. Emails, Internet,

Games, Apps, Music,

Camera everything

In 1 device.

Similarly Coworking is ..

TRY it once. You will

love it.
