You go to work in offices that house a Taj Mahal-like setting that changes colours, meeting places built like a railway coach or an Ambassador car, a work area designed like a Las Vegas casino, bright orange or green holes-in-the-wall with comfortable seating… the idea of a workplace is changing rapidly, and moving away from drab, great cubicles and work stations.
Unsurprisingly, global trendsetter in workplace design, Google, is at the forefront of the change in India, too. Its new office in Gurgaon, with a Taj Mahal-like reception area, boasts of a mini golf course, a cricket pitch, napping pods and, yes, a railway coach. Google’s Hyderabad office has the same philosophy of making workplace look like a fun place.
But Google isn’t the only one. India offices of LinkedIn, Expedia, British Telecom, Unilever IT Centre are all extravagant experiments in workplace chic.We takes a tour of offices to get a measure of this ongoing workplace revolution.
