With the easy funding flow of 2015 drying up, the theme of the season today including guidance from VC and investor community is to execute like a cockroach. It means survive under extreme conditions like cockroaches do. Even the theme around unplugged 2016 happening in May is also around the same with different entrepreneurs and investors giving their view on why this approach is important.
Setting up a simple office for a small team of 10-15 people is daunting and expensive tasks. Apart from your usual expenses such as rent and bills, you could be spending upwards of Rs. 1.5L on office desks, chairs and other furniture.
A good corei5 laptop, which costs above Rs. 40,000/- for team of 15 will set you back by another 6L. Add to that server, printers, UPS, projector and so on so forth, you will be looking at upfront investment of Rs. 10 lakh even before your first day in new office.
Investing heavily in depreciating assets could kill your startup even before it starts. Fortunately that is where office furniture on rent and laptops on rent comes into picture with companies like RentSher providing the complete office equipment on hire reducing your upfront capital investment and allows your infrastructure to grow gradually as you grow.
