According to the Coworking Community Blog, coworking is “a movement to create a community of cafe-like collaboration spaces for developers, writers and independents.” Though not strictly defined, a coworking event is generally comprised of a fluid group of freelancers, bedouin workers, and other transient collaborators from a variety of industries (though many or often involved in technology or media) coming together to work on their independent projects while sharing ideas, inspiration, and resources.
I have a feeling a lot more Indian professionals are looking at freelancing opportunities, so if anyone has bright ideas for a event in Hyderabad let me know :-)
Hi Gautham, Good topic! I completely agree with you about more people in india wanting to freelance. But as we see it now, I donot see any good place to start ( is there?) I know quite a number of my friends in US who a reluctant to return to India becasue of the gruelling long hours at office(IT companies). Looking forward to more of this subject on your blog. Great blogging from you!
