bhubaneswar is an interesting case study in how a city transforms.

ten years ago, this was the temple city, period. the economy was government-driven, tourism was temple-focused, and the idea of someone “working remotely from bhubaneswar” would have been absurd. today, infocity (the IT hub in chandrasekharpur) hosts offices of wipro, TCS, infosys, mindtree, and others. the smart city initiative has improved infrastructure. young professionals are either staying in bhubaneswar instead of migrating to bangalore, or returning after a few years in metro cities.

this transformation has created demand for coworking spaces. and the market has responded, not as fast as bangalore or hyderabad, but faster than most tier-2 cities.

what stands out about bhubaneswar’s coworking scene from research is the concentration around infocity. the IT hub has become a gravity well, pulling coworking spaces, cafes, restaurants, and residential development into its orbit. the patia-chandrasekharpur corridor is where most of the action is. saheed nagar, the city’s traditional commercial centre, has a few options too.

these reviews are research-backed. prices are as of early 2026.

detailed reviews

1. exospace, infocity area

the premium choice

exospace is widely regarded as the best coworking space in bhubaneswar. located near the infocity IT hub, it’s positioned perfectly for the city’s tech professional crowd.

the space is designed to a standard that would be comfortable in bangalore or hyderabad. clean lines, proper ergonomic furniture, phone booths for private calls, meeting rooms with video conferencing equipment, and a pantry that goes beyond just a kettle and some sachets.

wifi is a dedicated 100 mbps leased line with a backup connection. this is critical because a lot of exospace’s members are on video calls with teams in bangalore, hyderabad, or international offices. the power backup is DG-based, providing full backup during outages.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 5,500/month
• dedicated desk: rs 8,000/month
• private cabin (4-seater): rs 15,000+/month
• meeting room: rs 500/hour
• day pass: rs 500

what’s good: the infrastructure is genuinely reliable. the wifi works, the AC works, the power backup is instant. the community events (monthly meetups, occasional workshops) bring together bhubaneswar’s tech professionals. the location near infocity means you’re plugged into the city’s tech ecosystem.

what’s not: it’s the most expensive option in bhubaneswar. the infocity location, while great for tech workers, is far from the city centre (saheed nagar, old town). limited food options within walking distance, you’ll likely need to order delivery or drive to nearby restaurants.

best for: remote workers at tech companies, freelance developers and designers, and anyone who can’t afford wifi or power issues during work hours. if you’re earning a bangalore salary and spending bhubaneswar costs, this is where the surplus goes.

2. fun@work, patia

the community builder

fun@work takes the “community” part of coworking seriously. located in patia, near the infocity corridor, it’s positioned as a space where collaboration happens, not just co-location.

the space hosts regular networking events, skill-sharing sessions, and startup meetups. the interior design leans toward colourful and energetic rather than corporate and sleek. open spaces, collaborative areas, and a cafe-style common area encourage interaction.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 5,000/month
• dedicated desk: rs 7,000/month
• private cabin (4-seater): rs 13,000/month
• meeting room: rs 400/hour
• day pass: rs 400

what’s good: the community aspect is genuine. unlike spaces where “community” means a slack channel nobody uses, fun@work actively curates events and introductions. the wifi is strong (100 mbps dedicated line), and the power backup is reliable. the cafe serves decent coffee and snacks.

what’s not: the open, collaborative design means it can be noisy. if you need absolute quiet for deep work, this might not be ideal. the pricing is premium for what’s essentially a mid-tier space in terms of furniture quality.

best for: startup founders, freelancers who want to network, and anyone who values community over quiet. if you’re new to bhubaneswar and want to meet the local tech scene, start here.

3. akasa coworking, patia

the value champion

akasa coworking is bhubaneswar’s answer to the question “can i get a good workspace without paying premium prices?” the answer is yes.

the space is simpler than exospace or fun@work. the furniture is functional rather than premium. the interiors are clean but not designed by an architect. but the wifi works (80 mbps fiber), the AC keeps up, and the power backup covers outages.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 3,500/month
• dedicated desk: rs 4,500/month
• private cabin (2-seater): rs 9,000/month
• meeting room: rs 300/hour
• day pass: rs 250

what’s good: the price-to-quality ratio. rs 4,500 for a dedicated desk in bhubaneswar with reliable infrastructure is excellent value. the patia location keeps you in the infocity orbit without the premium pricing that comes with being directly adjacent. the staff is helpful and responsive.

what’s not: the space is smaller than the premium options. meeting rooms are limited. the wifi, while adequate, can slow during peak hours when all seats are occupied. no community events or networking.

best for: freelancers, solo founders, and remote workers who need a functional workspace at a reasonable price. if you’re starting out or bootstrapping, this is the smart choice.

4. spring house, saheed nagar

the city centre option

spring house is one of the few coworking spaces in saheed nagar, bhubaneswar’s commercial centre. while most coworking spaces have clustered near infocity, spring house serves the part of the city that’s closer to restaurants, shops, and the traditional commercial hub.

the location matters. saheed nagar is where the best restaurants and cafes are. it’s central, well-connected by public transport, and surrounded by amenities. if you don’t want to work in the infocity bubble, spring house is the best alternative.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 4,000/month
• dedicated desk: rs 5,500/month
• private cabin: rs 10,000/month
• day pass: rs 300

what’s good: the location. everything you need, food, cafes, banks, shopping, is within walking distance. the space is well-maintained, the wifi is reliable (80 mbps), and the power backup works.

what’s not: the space is smaller than the infocity options. saheed nagar traffic can make commuting a hassle during peak hours. the tech community is thinner here than around infocity.

best for: anyone who prefers working in the city centre rather than the IT corridor. professionals in non-tech fields (consulting, design, writing) who don’t need to be near infocity.

5. cre8, jaydev vihar

the creative space

cre8 positions itself as a creative workspace, and the interiors reflect that, murals, colour-blocked walls, exposed brick, and a design that’s more design studio than corporate office.

located in jaydev vihar, the hotel and residential area, cre8 attracts a slightly different crowd from the infocity spaces. more designers, content creators, and marketing professionals, fewer software developers.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 4,500/month
• dedicated desk: rs 6,500/month
• private cabin: rs 12,000/month
• day pass: rs 400

what’s good: the design and vibe. if you’re a creative professional, the environment matters, and cre8 provides a more inspiring setting than functional corporate spaces. the wifi is adequate (80 mbps) and the backup is reliable.

what’s not: the “creative” premium means you’re paying more for the same basic infrastructure. the jaydev vihar location is convenient but can feel isolated from the tech scene around infocity.

best for: designers, content creators, and creative professionals who want an environment that matches their work.

6. the hive bhubaneswar, chandrasekharpur

the corporate option

the hive is a more corporate-leaning coworking space in chandrasekharpur. the setup is closer to a serviced office than a startup-friendly coworking space. professional interiors, formal meeting rooms, and a layout designed for businesses rather than individual freelancers.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 5,000/month
• dedicated desk: rs 7,500/month
• private cabin: rs 14,000/month

what’s good: professional infrastructure. good for businesses that need a formal address, meeting rooms for client presentations, and a corporate environment.

what’s not: the corporate vibe isn’t for everyone. limited community events. the pricing is high for what’s essentially a shared office.

best for: small businesses, consulting firms, and professionals who need a formal workspace.

7. worq cowork, nayapalli

the neighbourhood option

worq cowork is a smaller, budget-friendly space in nayapalli, a residential area. it serves the local population who need a workspace close to home without commuting to infocity or saheed nagar.

pricing:

• hot desk: rs 3,500/month
• dedicated desk: rs 5,000/month
• private cabin: rs 8,500/month
• day pass: rs 200

what’s good: the price and the convenience of a residential area location. if you live in nayapalli or nearby, this saves you a commute.

what’s not: the wifi is only 60 mbps and the power backup is inverter-based (limited duration). the space is small and the community is thin.

best for: nayapalli residents who want a workspace nearby without the commute to infocity.

the bhubaneswar advantage for remote work

beyond coworking spaces, here’s why bhubaneswar is worth considering for remote work:

cost of living:

expense	monthly cost
1BHK rent (decent area)	rs 7,000-12,000
food (home cooking + eating out)	rs 5,000-8,000
coworking (dedicated desk)	rs 4,500-8,000
transport	rs 1,500-3,000
internet (home broadband)	rs 700-1,000
total	rs 18,700-32,000

that’s rs 20,000-30,000 per month for a comfortable life including a coworking space. in bangalore, the same setup would cost rs 60,000-80,000.

infrastructure: jio fiber and airtel fiber are available in most areas. 5g coverage is rolling out. the smart city initiative has improved roads and connectivity. biju patnaik airport has direct flights to delhi, mumbai, bangalore, hyderabad, and kolkata.

quality of life: bhubaneswar has good weather for 8 months of the year (summer is brutal). the city is cleaner than most indian cities. the food is excellent and cheap. the temple culture adds a unique character. the beaches of puri are 60 km away.

alternatives to coworking

if formal coworking doesn’t suit you:

• cafes with wifi: the coffee commune and aroma cafe both support working for a few hours
• home broadband: jio fiber offers plans from rs 700/month with 100+ mbps
• hotel business centres: the mayfair lagoon and swosti premium have business centres for day use
