KOCHI: Kerala is inaugurating its first coworking space that embraces neurodiversity, aimed at fostering an inclusive workspace for individuals with varied needs.
The facility, named ‘i by Infopark’, spans 48,000 square feet and is situated at the Ernakulam South Metro Station.
Facilities can accommodate over 550 professionals, featuring flexible work settings with modern amenities, as highlighted by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Monday.
He mentioned that this initiative could set a standard for future projects and will be expanded across the state to promote innovation and job creation.
The Chief Minister elaborated in a Facebook post, “Covering an area of around 48,000 square feet, this facility includes 582 workspaces, high-speed internet, full power backup, 24/7 security, a professional reception, cafeteria, office pods, and meeting areas, along with various additional services.”
A significant aspect of this venture is the customizable rental options, allowing office spaces to adapt to specific business needs.
The primary target audience includes gig workers, freelancers, multinational firms, IT/IT-enabled service providers, and companies aspiring to establish Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Kerala, Vijayan stated.
Should the project succeed, the government has plans to replicate similar centres statewide, he added.
