Question 1

Does Away.Centre provide managed office space?

Accepted Answer

Yes — One of the 69 Away.Centre workspaces listed in India is a managed office, and Away.Centre's site offers managed offices as custom-designed workspace for teams and enterprises.

A managed office is a floor or block fitted and run for one company, priced as a single monthly cost rather than per desk. The layout, desk count and term are agreed with the operator before the fit-out starts.

Question 2

Does Away.Centre have meeting rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Four of the six Away.Centre buildings listed in India record a meeting room, and in each case it is bookable at a charge rather than included in the monthly price.

Meeting rooms are not listed as separately bookable spaces here; Away.Centre arranges them at the centre. Its site offers meeting rooms on demand, so rates, room sizes and any included hours vary by building.

Question 3

What is included with an Away.Centre membership?

Accepted Answer

Every Away.Centre building listed in India records reception services, mail handling, printing facilities, a business lounge, furnished space and air conditioning.

The rest varies by building:

• 24/7 access at four of the six
• a kitchen at four of the six
• step-free disabled access at four of the six

Question 4

Can I try Away.Centre for a day?

Accepted Answer

Away.Centre's site offers day passes for single-day workspace access, and says a first full day is free with no card and no commitment.

Day passes are not among the space types listed here, so they are arranged with Away.Centre directly. If you want to test a centre before taking a desk or a room by the month, a day visit is the quickest way to see how it works.

Question 5

How long is an Away.Centre agreement?

Accepted Answer

Terms on the Away.Centre workspaces listed in India run from a single month to 12, 24 months or longer, and the length you commit to usually affects the monthly rate.

Away.Centre's site describes memberships with no lock-in, or commitments of 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 or 24 months, with the saving rising as the term lengthens. The notice period and deposit are set by the operator on each agreement.

Question 6

How do I arrange a visit to an Away.Centre site?

Accepted Answer

To visit an Away.Centre site in India, enquire on the listing for the workspace you are interested in and the operator arranges the visit with you directly.

Say how many desks you need, whether Kolkata or Visakhapatnam suits your team, and when you want to start, so the visit covers rooms that fit. Three of the six buildings are in Kolkata, so several can be seen together.

Question 7

How much does Away.Centre cost in India?

Accepted Answer

Across the Away.Centre workspaces listed in India the average is about INR 9,394 per desk per month, taken across all 69 available listings, which cover private offices, coworking desks and a managed office.

That is an average across those types rather than a starting price, so a single coworking desk sits below it and a fitted managed floor above. Enquire on a listing and the operator confirms the current rate.

Question 8

Where are Away.Centre's locations?

Accepted Answer

Away.Centre has six buildings listed in India, three of them in Kolkata and two in Visakhapatnam, holding 69 available workspaces between them.

The building for each workspace is shown on its own listing. Availability changes, and Away.Centre's own site also describes sites it is opening, so what is bookable here may differ from the full network it advertises.

Question 9

Does Away.Centre offer private offices in Kolkata?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Fifty-four of the 69 Away.Centre workspaces listed in India are private offices, and three of the six buildings are in Kolkata.

A private office is a lockable room used by one company rather than a shared desk. Away.Centre's site calls its private cabins Studio. Every building listed records furnished space and air conditioning, so rooms come ready to use, with sizes differing by site.

Question 10

Can I get a coworking desk at Away.Centre?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Fourteen of the 69 Away.Centre workspaces listed in India are coworking desks, alongside its private offices.

A coworking desk is a seat in a shared area taken per person, usually by the month. Away.Centre's site calls its reserved desks Station and lists lounge access, fibre wifi and quiet focus zones. Which buildings carry desks changes, so check the individual listing.
