The number of independent professionals working from home is growing. Working from home provides the comfort of a familiar and cosy environment, promoting a good work-life balance that enhances productivity and creativity. However, it is also accompanied by the demands of the family and other distractions that invade the work space and time.
Sujatha Jain is one such independent professional with more than 20 years of experience. She is a Human Resources (HR) professional and Life Coach. All India Radio listeners will recognise her as ‘RJ Sue J’.
Sujatha used to have regular meetings at a coffee shop in Bandra. And while she did not mind paying for the endless cups of coffee, it was increasingly evident that she could not continue to work out of coffee shops, because of the perpetual noise and other distractions.
This inspired Sujatha to conceive of a boutique co-working space that blends the best of an office, a café and a home. A space where diverse and inspiring professionals, and small teams, not only work next to one another, but also network, and more importantly – build friendships.
And voila! ‘Workbay’ was born!
‘Workbay’ is a co-working space that offers the comfort of a home, with all the essential necessities of a professional space – well equipped workstations, high speed internet, a meeting room, printer facility, tea/coffee, a community library, workshops & events space, and office staff to help you get through the day.
‘Workbay’ allows expansion from one, to more than one workstation, thereby catering to the specific needs of individuals or teams – from ‘hot’ desks, and dedicated desks, to team tables and team rooms.
Piyush Choudhary, one of the ‘founding’ clients of ‘Workbay’, Bandra, has this to say– “‘Workbay’ has this lovely quaint Bandra flavour and vibe. The natural light gives the space a lot of brightness and vitality. It is super conveniently located, with great access from anywhere in Bandra; and good connectivity through public transport, from most parts of Mumbai.”
Amrita Haldipur is another contented and delighted client at ‘Workbay’, Bandra. ‘Workbay’ ticked all of her check-boxes, viz. – professional, cosy, noiseless, seamlessly expandable and close to home. She has been with ‘Workbay’, Bandra almost since inception. Amrita and her team of 3-4 people clock almost 10 hours every working day. She is confident that as her business grows, so will her association with ‘Workbay’.
Over the past 3+ years Sujatha has established two ‘Workbay’ co-working spaces. The Santacruz West space started operations more than three and a half years ago, with a capacity of 50 seats; and the Bandra West operations started about two months ago, with a capacity of 60 seats. Sujatha has plans to open up more ‘Workbays’ in Mumbai and across other cities in India.
