Running a business in Pakistan comes with a long list of hassles. From reliable access to electricity and internet to regular upkeep, security and housekeeping, there are a lot of factors that companies have to keep in mind to ensure smooth operations. Equipping your office with services that guarantee efficiency, profitability and employee retention consumes plenty of resources and time. According to an article published in Forbes, “44% of wasted time in the business world is directly linked to inefficient processes.”
Coworking brings an all-in-one solution for diverse businesses amid the burdens of inflation and the increasing demand for a work-life balance. Here’s how your business can benefit from the hassle and stress-free services of a coworking space like Daftarkhwan.
Optimizing CAPEX
According to our recent survey, 76% of the business owners consider operational and administrative efficiency as their primary motivation to work from a coworking space. By offering a fully equipped work environment with ready to move-in offices, coworking eliminates operational and logistical complexities that companies come across in a traditional office.
It reduces overhead costs for businesses with a model of sharing resources. At Daftarkhwan, businesses are able to benefit from a range of services which include free of cost valet parking, high-speed internet, easily bookable meeting and conference rooms, printing and scanning, housekeeping, unlimited supply of tea and coffee, an in-house cafe, among many others. These are all bundled into a flexible membership plan that adapts to the company’s growth. Our spaces offer scalable solutions for every working style, offering everything from hot desking to flexible seats and dedicated floors for enterprises.
Coworking also provides administrative assistance, including front desk staff and IT support. By decreasing the burden on in-house teams, these spaces offer a cost-effective solution that allows companies to focus on their core operations rather than facility management.
Work Culture
In addition to logistical challenges, companies often struggle with creating a dynamic and productive work culture. In 2024, Forbes reported that “more than 80% of employees are at risk of burnout.” By working in a coworking space you can solve this particular issue.
In our survey, 71% of our respondents considered community and culture an important feature at their workplace. Coworking spaces have the ability to bring people from different industries, backgrounds and abilities together. Emerging businesses are also able to connect with influential brands and companies through networking events, opening up potential opportunities to collaborate and grow together.
With indoor event spaces and scenic rooftops, Daftarkhwan has hosted a number of such events with prominent names like Google, Paklaunch and ITCN. Social and community events, from 3D Printing to Drum Circle’s are also organized to offer a perfect mix of fun and learning.

Coworking spaces are the hubs of inclusivity. By welcoming professionals from all walks of life, they cater to the needs of people with different backgrounds and abilities. Through accessibility features like ramps, elevators, accessible restrooms and adaptive workspaces, Daftarkhwan ensures that every individual is able to navigate the space with ease.
At all Daftarkhwan sites, members are able to enter the premises only through controlled access. Cameras are also installed at every floor to enhance security measures.
With in-house kids playrooms staffed with professional nannies, our spaces also allow parents to focus on their work.
While working at Reckitt from Daftarkhwan, Sonia Amar found our playroom to be "very attractive for working mothers." She explained, "If an office doesn't have one, women can't really prolong their careers so I greatly appreciate Daftarkhwan and such initiatives that enable women to continue working."
As a part of our commitment to empower women, all female members at Daftarkhwan have access to dedicated prayer rooms. Essentials like sanitary napkins are always within their reach, fostering a period positive workspace.
Freedom and Flexibility
Growing trends have pointed out that one size does not fit all. There are multiple models of work that have emerged in recent times. A lot of businesses are moving away from traditional offices to offer flexibility to their employees. According to Deloitte, 90% of respondents stated that they “value flexibility.”
Flexible workspaces also benefit the companies by providing them the choice to scale up or down, depending on their growth. Likewise, Daftarkhwan provides an option of customization to enterprises to have a curated space that caters to all their needs and requirements. With multiple prime locations in Lahore, Islamabad and Rawalpindi members have the freedom to choose a workspace closest to them - reducing commute times.
Coworking spaces enable people to be themselves and work without being restricted to a cubicle - giving them the freedom to work how they want, whether it's a huddle room, phone booth or a lounge with a view. These spaces cater to work styles of different people and enable organic interactions. Aside from entrepreneurs and the employees, Daftarkhwan empowers content creators with creative freedom through its Podcast Studio, allowing them to bring their ideas to life.
The rise of coworking has taken the hassle out of the workday. They remove the mounting burdens of logistics that slow down the growth of businesses. If you are an entrepreneur who wants to reduce capital and operational expenses, enhance work culture for your employees or promote flexibility, it is time for you to think beyond the setup of a traditional office and opt for a space that adapts to you.
