We sat with Tarun Mor, Founder of CoKarma, in the very first English episode of Kaushik & Co., and what he shared, we didn't expect.Tarun didn't plan CoKarma. He came back from Melbourne, one of the best cities in the world to live in, left a good-paying job, and moved back to India to chase something he believed in.He just needed a place to work close to home. So he built one. 40 seats. Nothing fancy.The tech startup he actually came back for? It didn't work out. But that little 40-seater? Ran full. Doubled it. Filled again in 13 days.In this episode we talk about:How CoKarma started by complete accidentThe dining table conversation with his mom that changed everythingGoing from 40 seats to 4,200 seats across 13 locationsWhy he left Melbourne, rated best city in the world, to come backWhat the WeWork crash actually did to the co-working industryWhy he doesn't believe in calling his team a "family"What it really takes to become an entrepreneurAnd where CoKarma is headed nextTimestamps : 00:00 Intro02:05 Introduction and first English episode02:43 Why co-working spaces?02:49 The Melbourne moment03:44 How CoKarma actually started05:37 The name Co-Karma, the story behind it07:55 From 40 seats to 4,200 seats08:24 Why big companies use co-working spaces20:07 How the first expansion was funded20:33 The mom and dining table moment22:32 The Durgam Lake building story24:00 The Marwari business mindset25:08 Selling sarees at age 1243:00 Family vs sports team culture debate45:12 Community and the HR startup story01:19:49 Should everyone become an entrepreneur?01:21:06 Why he left Melbourne01:21:43 I want to build something that lasts longer than me01:25:08 How they survived COVID01:29:59 The WeWork question01:31:56 Where is CoKarma going next?01:32:17 First city outside India01:33:03 EndKaushik & Co has been running conversations for a while now , but this is the first time we've done it in English.
