In the pre-millennial world, serious business often unfolded in the most unexpected corners of Kolkata—over endless hours at a worn-out conference table or in the smoky warmth of a roadside coffee shop on Park Street. Ideas were sketched on paper napkins, deals were sealed with a firm handshake in front of a tiny television, and ambitious plans took shape even as toddlers crawled under the dining table of a cramped one-bedroom apartment. It was chaotic, informal, and imperfect—but it was also a testament to resourcefulness in a time before structured workspaces and polished boardrooms existed.
But times have changed. In the new era of entrepreneurship and startups, if you are a new economy corporate, a home-based entrepreneur, or a startup founder in Kolkata or anywhere in West Bengal, you know it is no longer just about how you present yourself and how you are different than the competitors. Your business environment is a key determinant of your success
Do you want to close a deal with a VC from Mumbai? Set the stage with a local media team? Interview that hotshot artist from Shantiniketan? Show up like a boss. Book a meeting room. Call it whatever you like, but today’s market for premium coworking space in Kolkata tells us that entrepreneurs and corporate professionals know it: good meeting spaces are not a “nice to have” in a coworking space in Kolkata or anywhere in West Bengal. They are a business strategy.
Infinity Business Centre is Salt Lake Sector V’s newest business centre, designed for business growth in the new economy. At the ground level, efficient meeting spaces get to the heart of efficiency. After all, an entrepreneur’s time is his most important resource, and a powerful meeting is “time earned” at a busy workspace in Kolkata or anywhere else in India. Here is how Infinity Business Centre’s coworking space with meeting spaces makes “time-wasters” into “business-builders”.
Meeting spaces in the new economy are about more than just collaborating better in Kolkata. We are built on conversations. But in a professional context, unbridled conversation is often the biggest time-waster in our businesses. Startups and SMEs often complain about the “space crunch” in West Bengal: having the right talent and resources but nothing professional to show for it.
Meeting facilities make a big difference. They take away that commute, that traffic, that external distraction. They take away all that and transform a casual “Adda” into a focused professional conversation. If you are a consultant, a freelancer, or a startup founder and are hoping to build client relationships or grow your team in Kolkata and Bengal, then get out of your home office and give your guests something they cannot ignore: a sense of professionalism. Let Infinity Benchmark (a USGBC Platinum Certified building) be your new office space. And let your meetings take a quality leap with these 6 productivity hacks for your next boardroom or team meeting in Kolkata:
Don’t book an auditorium to review project updates between you and your intern. Why create that physical distance when you don’t have to?
Tip: Grab one of our huddle rooms or private cabins for a more intimate discussion.
We are a city of raconteurs. But in business, visual data is king. No one is going to decipher your hard-fought data during a 30-minute monologue.
Tip: Grab some of those whiteboards or digital smart screens to sketch out data or ideas. You’ll have your client nodding within minutes instead of exhausting him for an hour.
Traffic is unpredictable. Just like your impatient board members or fellow entrepreneurs.
Tip: Be clear about your end goal: set a hard end time for your meeting. Book a meeting room for 60 minutes, but set a mental timer to finish in 50 minutes with 10 minutes reserved for clear “Next Steps”.
Break out of that formal meeting. A great presentation in the Kolkata office rooms of Infinity Benchmark or Godrej Waterside is a great way to close the deal, but sometimes clients need that “moment” and making a client feel “special” is easier without executives breathing down your neck.
Tip: Once the presentation is over, show your guests the balcony or cafeteria. Coffee in a professional breakout space can often clinch the deal faster than the boardroom.
Confidentiality is key, especially if you deal with client data, like law firms and financial companies
Tip: Don’t go over contracts and deals in an open area. Don’t discuss business data in your coworking space in Kolkata. Book a private meeting room to discuss your next moves and ensure your business’s privacy.
Before you take the podium, you would test out the presentation equipment, right? The same goes for your shared office space
Tip 1: Get there early; take the time to test the projector. Our IT support team is always there to assist you before you start.
Tip 2: If you are on the “other side” of the table, then use this to your advantage. A start-up founder, late for his scheduled demo in a huddle room, puts the pressure back on the potential investor.
We are at the beginning of a renaissance in Kolkata: from efficiency, from globalisation, and from technology. Business is getting hyper-competitive and fast.
We are all trying to build empires. But your best strategies are limited if your meeting facilities are lagging. Your new workspace needs to be able to help you power through board meetings or hustle through strategy sessions because your competitors are on the other side of the table.
Infinity Business Centre understands this new way of working in Kolkata and Bengal. We understand that as you scale operations in this market, your office requirements will expand to accommodate not just you but also those you are collaborating with in the new economy.
Pick your future and let Infinity Business Centre help you win your battles. Upgrade your meetings and leave old, outdated office environments, and get your clients to see you in a new light.
Don’t let a dingy conference hall cost you a client. Upgrade and experience the power of a premium workplace.
