You’re supposed to meet a potential client for a huge pitch. Or you’ve got a brainwave that, you feel, could be the next big thing. So you book a table at a posh restaurant only to find it doesn’t have Wi-Fi, and the insane amount of chatter makes it impossible to have a decent conversation. Ever been in a situation like this before? Well, fret not, for Workplax has your back!
Workplax aims to revolutionise the idea of affordable coworking spaces. It is currently operational in and around Mumbai. To put it simply, whenever you need a place for a meeting, a nice cup of morning coffee or just somewhere peaceful enough to relax and work, Workplax has all the answers.
How does it work?
Mumbai has a lot of under-utilised spaces that can be used way more efficiently, and monetised further. Since a running kitchen is not essential for these purposes, Workplax focuses on using ‘dine-only’ places like restaurants, pubs and lounges as co-working spaces, during their off hours.
Since the rates are pretty affordable, it gives the customer a cheaper option in a good location while the revenue is shared between the location owner and Workplax. This creates a win-win, or rather, a win-win-win situation, as the restaurant owner is paid in free cash to relieve the ground-level retail pressure. This makes it easy for them to take a lot more risk with food or beverages, or any other concept for their location, while making some money off of it.
Workplax currently operates out of a restaurant in Versova, which has space for about 50 people. They also provide high-speed Wi-Fi, options for tea, coffee and other refreshments, as well as printing facilities. Meeting room can also be arranged upon request.
