Doing business in India is awesome, but doing it in certain cities is even better. After business capital Mumbai, savvy Delhi, and IT behemoths Hyderabad and Bengaluru, the start-up community’s sights are firmly trained on Gurugram.
Gurugram (formerly, Gurgaon) is an exciting new hub of business, with several multinational and domestic businesses already present here. It is also the fount of many start up companies looking to forge ahead in the business world – and with good reason. Gurugram offers modern infrastructure, excellent road connectivity to Delhi and other major cities, good housing options and state of the art office complexes. The city also boasts of excellent digital penetration, upscale restaurants, entertainment centres and educational institutions.
If you are setting up a start up in Gurugram, you should first –
1. Find a good residence. If you’re an out-of-towner, chances are high that finding a good place to stay in Gurugram is high on your list. Start-ups with funding can afford to raise the stakes a little, and stay at residences offered by luxury hotels in Gurugram such as The Leela Ambience Gurugram Hotel & Residences*. We tell you why this works on many levels:
You stay at a posh residence with complete autonomy over your going and coming times, plus you get excellent service**.
Your meals are taken care of at The Leela luxury hotel in Gurugram – the hotel has 6 excellent dining options***.
You can conduct business meetings by hiring the hotel’s meeting rooms****.
You can use the hotel’s facilities after a hard day of work, to rest and unwind.
2 Find a business incubator. After your place of stay is sorted out – you may choose the option mentioned above or lease a convenient apartment – the next step is to scout for a business incubator*****. There are many advantages in this: first, you are taken under the wing of an experienced business entity that grooms your company and provides the resources that you require daily (office space, work terminals, telephone connection, pantry access, etc.). Second, you are motivated to succeed at your business because after launching operations, the incubator will release you once your revenues reach a certain point. Third, it provides valuable networking opportunities with the incubator as well as the other businesses under their wing.
3 Look for a communal workspace. If your office space is not ready yet, or if you are looking for a business incubator, you can meanwhile commence your operations from a communal workspace******. These are several good ones in and around Gurugram, and you can find one that suits your requirements quite easily. The space must have comfortable seating, plug points for your laptop, Wi-Fi, coffee maker/pantry, canteen and restrooms.
