    Why Co-Working Space Is A ₹300 Billion Opportunity In India | Kaushik and Co X Tarun Mor

    We sat with Tarun Mor, Founder of CoKarma, in the very first English episode of Kaushik & Co., and what he shared, we didn't expect. Tarun didn't plan CoKarma. He came back from Melbourne, one of the best cities in the world to live in, left a good-paying job, and moved back to India to chase something he believed in. He just needed a place to work close to home. So he built one. 40 seats. Nothing fancy. The tech startup he actually came back for? It didn't work out. But that little 40-seater? Ran full. Doubled it. Filled again in 13 days. In this episode we talk about: How CoKarma started by complete accident The dining table conversation with his mom that changed everything Going from 40 seats to 4,200 seats across 13 locations Why he left Melbourne, rated best city in the world, to come back What the WeWork crash actually did to the co-working industry Why he doesn't believe in calling his team a "family" What it really takes to become an entrepreneur And where CoKarma is headed next Timestamps : 00:00 Intro 02:05 Introduction and first English episode 02:43 Why co-working spaces? 02:49 The Melbourne moment 03:44 How CoKarma actually started 05:37 The name Co-Karma, the story behind it 07:55 From 40 seats to 4,200 seats 08:24 Why big companies use co-working spaces 20:07 How the first expansion was funded 20:33 The mom and dining table moment 22:32 The Durgam Lake building story 24:00 The Marwari business mindset 25:08 Selling sarees at age 12 43:00 Family vs sports team culture debate 45:12 Community and the HR startup story 01:19:49 Should everyone become an entrepreneur? 01:21:06 Why he left Melbourne 01:21:43 I want to build something that lasts longer than me 01:25:08 How they survived COVID 01:29:59 The WeWork question 01:31:56 Where is CoKarma going next? 01:32:17 First city outside India 01:33:03 End Kaushik & Co has been running conversations for a while now , but this is the first time we've done it in English.
