How to find the best Coworking Space in Guwahati? Here’s What I’ve Learned - exospace2025/exospace-india GitHub Wiki

Let me tell you, a lot of people I know have this same confusion when they start looking for a coworking space in Guwahati. I’ve been through it myself. When you search online, you’ll get a list of spaces, some fancy websites, and Instagram-worthy photos, but finding the right coworking space isn’t as simple as picking the best-looking one.

I’ve hopped around a few places in Guwahati, so I thought I’d share what I learned (the hard way) for anyone who’s currently figuring this out.

  1. Location matters more than you think Trust me, you don’t want to spend half your energy commuting. If you’re looking around GS Road, Ganeshguri, or areas like Kamakhya Tower, check how accessible it is. How’s the parking? Is there a metro/bus stop nearby? These small things add up.

  2. Don’t fall for photos — visit and sit for a day Many spaces look cool online but feel dead when you walk in. I made this mistake once. Go visit, take a trial day, see the vibe. Are people actually working? Is there a community feel? Or is it just empty desks?

  3. Understand your work style Some people need quiet corners, others love buzzing environments. Some coworking spaces in Guwahati are more community-driven, while others are super basic (just desks and WiFi). Make sure you know what YOU want before picking one.

  4. Check flexibility of plans Many places will try to push you into monthly contracts, but if you’re a freelancer or remote worker, look for flexible daily or weekly plans. Also, ask about amenities. Is meeting room usage included? Do they charge extra for basic stuff like coffee?

  5. Talk to people already working there This helped me a lot. During trial days, I casually asked other folks working there about their experience. You’ll get honest feedback this way, whether it’s about internet reliability, management support, or even how crowded it gets at peak hours.

Quick Tips Before You Decide: Prioritize location convenience over aesthetics. Trial a day to feel the actual working vibe. Make sure amenities match your workflow (WiFi speed, meeting rooms, 24x7 access if needed). Check if they host community events (great for networking if you’re a freelancer or startup). I’m currently working out of a space near GS Road, and so far it’s been good not overly crowded but active enough that it doesn’t feel dead. If anyone’s hunting for coworking spaces around Ganeshguri, Kamakhya Tower, or even Beltola, feel free to ping me. I’ve done a fair bit of legwork on this and can share some suggestions.

Hope this helps anyone who’s stuck in the search loop!
