Some people do not want to settle with an 8 to 12-hour desk-bound job, just facing their laptops or computers all day.
But with the rise of ‘digital nomad’, people are increasingly doing their work remotely at home, cafés, or at co-working spaces.
But given that rental is usually a cost many startups try to avoid in their early days, they tend to utilise these public spaces before slowly moving to a private office space.
Here are some of the best co-working spaces around the Metro that have great ambience, comfort, and office perks:
1. Acceler8
Founded by four individuals, Acceler8 is designed to emulate a professional setting where members can maximise productivity and network with one another.
This co-working space has a common area and mini-office spaces for rent to those who want to have their own private space. It also hosts different fun activities weekly so you can bond and socialise with other co-workers in the office.
Members also get to access their other V-Office Centres around the Metro. Not only that, they will get a privilege card that gives you offers and discounts from different restaurants, hotels, bars, and more.
