Inside a Coimbatore co-working space with board games and a café
Sabol Co-Works in Coimbatore offers a unique workspace concept called WOCABO, which integrates professional office desks with a café and a library of over 300 board games. The facility aims to reduce workplace stress by providing an aesthetically pleasing environment for both individual professionals and MNC teams.
Why it matters
It highlights the evolving trend of hybrid and flexible workspaces that prioritize employee mental well-being and community engagement over traditional office layouts.
In a quiet part of Tatabad, is a co-working space offering something different. We step into Sabol Co-Works on a busy workday as people are bent into their laptops. Opened a little over a year ago, the space, that can hold 54 desks, is the kind of place that can make a stressful day at work bearable, even fun.
“We’ve created a concept that we call WOCABO,” says Karthic Kumaran, who runs the place along with his mother Subashini Ramesh. The 26-year-old, who is also professional tennis player, explains that WO stands for work, CA for café, and BO for boardgames. “We have office spaces alongside a café and over 300 boardgames to choose from,” he explains.
