Gorakhpur Gets Its First Co working Space.

Up until recently, Gorakhpur was the crime capital of Uttar Pradesh and was infamously known as “India’s Chicago.” With exceptionally high crime rates, for the longest time, Gorakhpur had all the elements of a mafia city, from gang crimes to syndicated crimes.

In what seems as a turn for a very bright future, Gorakhpur gets its first ever coworking space, StartUp Cafe. Coworking spaces are gaining momentum and are being looked at as hubs for growth and development. They have also become a common ground whereupon ideas are shared, worked on and developed.

In an attempt to boost the startup ecosystem and to give entrepreneurs in Uttar Pradesh the right kind of infrastructure, two friends, Arunn Gupta and Vibhore Jaiswal, came together to start the first coworking space, StartUp Cafe.

Arunn Gupta and his partner, Vibhore Jaiswal, realized the need for this startup space and launched StartUp Cafe, the first coworking space in this part of India. Arunn Gupta believes that it is important for people to have a space where they can think, ideate and create and that a coworking space is the perfect solution for people who do not have enough resources.

StartUp Cafe provides more than just the basic amenities. Located in one of the prime areas of Gorakhpur, the Cafe also provides 24 hours electricity, unlimited high speed internet, meeting rooms with video conferencing facility, fully airconditioned office rooms and a cafeteria with tea and coffee vending machines.

The cafe is self funded at the moment and provides a working space for 7 people. The ultimate goal of Arunn and Vibhore is to build a space that helps bring people from different communities together, creating a wonderful working experience in the process!
