Let's be honest: Most coworking spaces feel like a bad first date. Overhyped photos, awkward silences, and promises that vanish faster than free Wi-Fi. But here's the twist—I'm writing this from Fun@Work's coworking space in Bhubaneswar, sipping a masala chai that's so good, I'd brave Odisha's summer traffic for it.
Why? Because after six months of working here, I've realized something: Fun@Work isn't just a workspace. It's a productivity playground for freelancers, startups, students, and even corporate teams who've ditched their Infocity offices. Let me show you why.
1. Location Isn't Everything… Until It Is
You've heard “location, location, location” a million times. But when your coworking space is sandwiched between Infocity's tech giants and KIIT's student hustle, location becomes your secret weapon.
Saheed Nagar (Bhawani Mall): Where Ambition Meets Convenience
5 Minutes to Tech Mahindra: No more sprinting through Bhubaneswar's traffic to make a 10 AM
meeting.
Free Parking (Yes, Really): 50+ slots mean you're not circling the block like a vulture.
Hidden Perk: The mall's food court has a biryani spot that's become my Tuesday
ritual.
Hanspal Square (Symphony Mall): KIIT's Best-Kept Secret
7-Minute Walk to Campus: Perfect for students who want to escape hostel chaos.
NH-16 Access: Clients from Cuttack or Puri? They'll reach you before their coffee gets
cold.
Silent Zones: Soundproof pods where you can finally finish that coding project.
Real Story: Riya, a freelance graphic designer, chose Saheed Nagar because she pitches to Infocity startups. “Last month, I bumped into a founder at The Divine Bite Café. Now we're working on a ₹5L project.”
2. Amenities That Feel Like a Unicorn Startup Spared No Expense
Most coworking spaces treat amenities like a checkbox. Fun@Work? They treat them like a love language.
Wi-Fi That Doesn't Judge Your 4K Video Addiction
1 Gbps Speed:
I've uploaded 100MB design files while streaming Stranger Things. Zero
buffering.
No “Can You Get Off Zoom?” Drama:
40+ people online? The Wi-Fi doesn't flinch.
The Divine Bite Café: Where Coffee Meets Community
Masala Chai:
The kind that makes you forgive Odisha's humidity.
Chocolate Croissants:
Flaky, buttery, and the reason I've made friends with the barista.
Networking Magic: I've met two clients here while waiting for my latte.
Meeting Rooms That Won't Embarrass You
4K Projectors:
Because blurry slides scream “amateur.”
Whiteboards That Actually Work:
No more ghostly scribbles from last year's meeting.
Free Credits:
Every private cabin plan includes 4 hours/month. Host clients without sweating
the bill.
Pro Tip: Book the Hanspal Square meeting room for sunset views. Golden hour + a killer presentation = client magic.
3. Pricing That Makes Your Wallet Happy (Seriously)
Let's talk money—because nobody wants a coworking space that costs more than their rent.
Freelancers & Solo Warriors: ₹599/Day
What You Get:
Wi-Fi, coffee, printing, and a desk with a power outlet that works.
Why It's Genius:
No lock-ins. Work from Saheed Nagar today, Hanspal Square tomorrow.
Startups & Small Teams: Private Cabins from ₹14,999/Month
Lockable Doors:
For when your dev team needs to curse at code in peace.
24/7 Access:
Because great ideas don't care about business hours.
Virtual Offices: ₹999/Month for a Bhawani Mall Address
Prestige Without the Price Tag:
Ditch your “home office” lie on LinkedIn.
Mail Handling: They'll scan and email your packages. No more “mom, did my contract arrive?”
texts.

4. Perks You'll Bragging About on Instagram
24/7 Access: For Night Owls & Early Birds
Last month, I pulled an all-nighter to meet a deadline. The security guard didn't bat an eye—he just handed me a coffee.

They clean desks like surgeons prepping for surgery.
HEPA Filters:
Saheed Nagar's cabins have air purifiers quieter than a library.

I met my accountant at one. Best accidental networking ever.

The Startup That Saved ₹3.2L/Year
Tejas, founder of a fintech startup, moved from Infocity to Saheed Nagar:
“We got a private cabin, meeting room credits, and better coffee—all for 25% less.”
6. “But What About…?” Your FAQs Answered
Can I Bring My Dog?
Only if they're as chill as the café's resident golden retriever, Leo.
Is It Too Noisy for Calls?
Soundproof pods in both locations. Scream into your mic—nobody will hear.
What If I Outgrow My Space?
