Setting up your own company and attending weddings; if we had to sum up our lives in Delhi, those two would be it. While we trust you’ve got weddings figured out, setting up your own company comes with its own share of financial constraints, so why not save some and share an office? Here’s who cares, and therefore shares.
These 15 Co-Working Spaces Have Your Wi-Fi & Snacking Needs All Sorted
CoworkIn
Not everybody is lucky enough to work out of a villa in GK1, but if you’re flying solo, this could be the ideal station from which to operate. The informal houses provide not only a workspace for ad hoc short-term or long-term use, but also a community of independent members who probably fled the traditional office scene for reasons similar to yours.
You might find them staying in one of the guest rooms or using the daytime facilities. There is a shared workspace with desks, private rooms for teams to work together, and separate lounges; a formal one for meetings and an informal one for breakout sessions. Other than business centre staples, there is also a cook on-site to prepare meals if you choose to join the lunch plan, and two fixed rounds of chai during the day.
Price: INR 6,500 per month.
91 Springboard
Positioned as a growth hub for start-ups, 91 Springboard goes beyond office walls and even provides access to a network of mentors, as well as a forum for posting/finding jobs.

Social Offline
Social Offline is one of the more well-known collaborative work spaces in Delhi. Equipped with Wi-Fi, printers, stationery, lockers, conference rooms and cafe-style seating, the aim is to encourage physical interaction. But, we’re not complaining; you could end up sitting next to some very interesting people, and who knows where that could take you {we mean professionally}.
The only catch is that Social asks for applications, and you can’t just walk in. Also, they function on a monthly fee and don’t allow daily or weekly use. PS: Membership to one Social entitles you access to Socials all over the country.
Price: INR 5,000 per month.

A co-working space restricted to designers and creative folk {this includes, but is not limited to, architects, artists, film makers, writers, social workers and activists}, they offer internet, a pantry and printer services, and ask you write in with a short bio before they can accept your request to share their space. The area is limited, so they cap their list quite quickly.

Base Station
Located in Shapur Jat, Base Station is a co-working space run by Miranj; a design studio. While, generally, co-working spaces are aimed at groups of professionals working together, Base Station rather encourages individuals to come work alone and interact with each other. They’ve purposefully kept the number of seats towards the lower side, so as to avoid overcrowding and give the joint a spacious vibe. Make this your go-to co-working spot if you’re into working alongside fresh cups of coffee, some soothing ambient music, and a well-stocked pantry.
Price: INR 6,500 per month.
Workly
With an office already up and running in one of the most prime locations in Mumbai {Nariman point}, Workly makes its way to Delhi with its latest property in Lajpat Nagar. The space is mostly done up in black & white and exudes a minimal decor, and is a rather comfortable and spacious spot for you to set your work-table at.
Apart from providing you with a space to work out of, Workly has also tied up with various companies to provide the services you might require while working there. Need a printer or a PR agency to sort out your day-to-day needs? Just give them a shout-out and they’d sort it for you. Apart from that, they also have a biometric system in place for you to keep a track of attendance, in case you’re heading a company out of here.
One of the things we like about this one is the accessibility of the location, and as a bonus {atleast for us}, it’s right next to the iconic Nagpal chole bhature shop, too.
Price: They have different price plans.
A Little Anarky
Known for being a great film production studio, A Little Anarky also offers a co-working space. Tucked away in the lanes of HKV, they offer their clients workstations {either desks, couches or breakout spaces}, a conference room, Wi-Fi, a pantry, a massive terrace to take a break and, of course, a kickass audio and projection setup.

There’s no deposit or lock-in period for renting out a desk here, and the prices are not that exorbitant, either {

Puppychino
Puppychino never runs out of dogs, and we can’t think of anything better than that. There’s a dedicated dog space for them to play in, and a dedicated space for you to work in. That is, if you can get any work done with all that cuteness running around.
