Last day in Chetpet Office
Updates March 2nd, 2010Yesterday was my last day in Chetpet Office.
Chetpet Office !!??
Yes, it was a business center named Niche Business Centre located in 2nd Avenue, Harrington Road, Chetpet, Chennai. We rented it last December and we were working(a little, to be frank) from there till yesterday.
We??
Me and Rangachary Krishan, my best friend from college, constitutes that WE.
We were working together from early June 2009. I was working in PHP/MySQL, rather WordPress projects to be precise, mostly via elance.com and he worked in logo design and assisted me in little design stuffs that comes with the coding work I do.
He is actively participating in the design contents in 99designs.com.
Its really hard to work from home due to the abundance of disturbances, so we decided to look for an Office space and Ranga found this Business Center. Its located near the Lady Andal School in Harrington Road, a nice and calm place with lots of trees. We took a nice little two seater cabin and it cost us Rs.6500/Month and additional Rs.500/PC or Laptop. So we paid Rs.7500/month, little costly!. They also have a small pantry and support staffs for assistance and to give it an office feel. There were about 10 such cabins.
Its a good choice if you were looking for a work place for short duration. Not many were aware the existence such entity and we found it by chance while searching for a fully rented office and the advantage such place is zero investment and planning. If you like the cabin, just pay and occupy. When you are done, just leave. There were many such Business Centers and I saw one in Flowers Road, near Sangam Theater and another one in Haddows Road(ApeeJee Business Center).
Our cubicle was very similar to this but not this.
Here is the full address.
Niche Business Centre
No.10, first floor, Second Avenue,
Harrington Road,
Chetput, Chennai – 600 032.

(Don’t look in google maps its shows the location about a KM away from actual place
)
Last week Ranga got an offer from his previous company and he(we) decided to accept it. So, we decided to vacate the office and did so yesterday. It was so simple, all that was needed was a letter and no prior notice, nothing.
So, wat’s next….!!??
I’m looking for another office space near my home!!!
Why office space!!?? Why not home!!??
Guess what! I just found the topic for next post
