Business Cafe

I had gone to pune on a sunday to meet couple of friends to talk about some tech stuff and do some brainstroming on future plans. When it came to deciding the meeting place, it was quite difficult to find one. We required a space where there is not much noise, nice ambience, preferably a cafe sort of place with internet facility. Strangely we could not locate any such place in pune. Finally we found one cafe, next to Pizza hut in pune (on 3rd floor, forgot the name of cafe). The cafe is quite spacious and nice ambience. the best part is no one comes there. So the cafe is all yours. Though I dont smoke, but my friends wanted to smoke during the meeting. Smoking was not allowed there.

On the way back to mumbai I was thinking that like our group there must be many more people who would be meeting regularly and would like to have a place where they can talk business with full privacy.
I think, Pune is going to be the next bangalore for the world. Pune has got all the right things to build next Silicon Valley.
Top of Indian University, Good colleges, Best of software companies, good weather and most importantly people with right aptitude and attitude. I think Pune is the best place to start a new company.
Government has realized the potential of Pune and its people and have started infrastructure development for the next generation of software companies.


Thats how I started thinking about a new cafe. Its a business cafe. People come here to meet other like minded people and discuss business, their future plans and technical stuff.

I would like it to have two sections. One is an open air cafe with Wi-Fi connectivity. People will have option to bring their laptops and connect to Internet. Otherwise they can use the machines setup on each table.
The second section will have business facilities like audio and video conference calling. Even though all facilities are ment to be for business people, the enviroment is quite fresh and exciting. I see the conference room as a small room with translucent walls like a big phone booth. I dont want it to look like office conference room. The two sections are not totally segregated. The idea is not to replicate office enviroment. But mix office like facilities with a CCD like cafe.

I would like to have facility to book table or conference room via email/website or mobile. Definitely the cafe need to be till late in night.
