% Why India is a perfect destination for a CoWorking Trip

Incredible India

India might not be everyone’s first option when it comes to deciding on a destination for a CoWorking trip. Here is why I think India is one of the best destinations! In one country you can experience a desert, backwaters, thick forests, snow-clad mountains, picturesque beaches and bustling cities. You get a myriad of experiences along with a culture that is so rich, history and tradition rooted so deep and for centuries India has been visited by many. This is because guests are treated like Gods (Atithi Devo Bhava). I can truly vouch for the fact that nowhere else in the world you will be welcomed and greeted with open arms as much as you would be in India.

Why is CoWorking gaining popularity in India?

Millennials currently represent India’s workforce and influence the working culture.
India is the third largest startup economy in the world after China and the U.S.A.
Flexibility in setting up a digital nomad lifestyle without any hassle.

Whether you are an adventure seeker, an explorer, lover of cultures, city slicker or a soul searcher. India is perfect for every personality.

Here are my top reasons why you should plan a CoWorking trip to India

Taj Mahal, India

1. It is cost effective and affordable

This is one of the best reasons to plan a CoWorking trip to India. When compared to other sought after CoWorking destinations like Sardinia, Crete or Portugal, India is relatively cost effective. This is because accommodation, food, cost of living and transportation are extremely affordable. For example, it would cost up to 15,000-30,000 INR (170 Euro – 300 Euro) per month to live a comfortable and good lifestyle in India. This will vary depending on the city where you decide to stay and how lavish you wish to live.

2. Connectivity

As world leading companies have set up bases in India, technology is at its forefront. What does this mean for a digital nomad? There is easy connectivity of Wi-Fi and data coverage while you are on the move. A fun fact is that India is the biggest market for mobile technology.

3. Payment option

Street vendors to established enterprises accept PayPal as it is one of the most sought after payment methods along with payments done using international credit cards.

4. No language barrier

Most Indians are well versed in English or can at least understand and communicate appropriately with it’s broken form.

5. Cosmopolitan vibes along with beautiful landscapes

That’s the beauty of India! You can very easily plan excursions on the weekends during your CoWorking Trip because the options are limitless. You can experience a bustling city life or nightlife during your stay in one of the cosmopolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. At the same time, drive for a few hours and you will catch breathtaking views of Taj Mahal, or sip on some Chai or filter coffee by the hills, or relax by practising yoga at one of the retreats or indulge in ancient Ayurvedic form of healing.

6. Transportation

India is well connected by a good transportation system no matter where you choose your destination to be. The options are endless as you can travel by train, taxis, autos, Uber and several other taxi services.

7. Weather

India is so vast that you can easily choose a destination to have your CoWorking trip based on your personal preferences. There is summer, winter, monsoon and post monsoon. Honestly speaking, India’s weather can be a bit extreme during Summers. States in the Southern part of India like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala can get hotter than the Northern part of India. Unfortunately, it is difficult to generalise the weather in India. So, prepare, plan and be well equipped.
