Still doing work from home and looking for a set-up that offers more than a regular cafe? Check out IdeaPod on Sudder Street that has dedicated rooms for small meetings and big conferences and offers a conducive environment for optimum productivity. Tasteful decor with a well-stocked library, a cafe and facilities for yoga and meditation, IdeaPod is not just a coworking space but a new working eco-system that strikes the right balance between an office space and a community centre. “Kolkata has a few coworking space but either it’s too pricy or too substandard with no amenities and we wanted something that strikes a good balance. We intend to open a chain of IdeaPods with 3-4 more such space in the span of one and a half years,” said Rameswar Prasad, director at Prasad Group.
Small bites like cup cakes, croissants and others stock the cafe that also serves all kinds of hot beverages.
Rooms have been named after successful names like Ratan Tata, Steve Jobs and others.
