Chief Minister, Dr. Pramod Sawant & Information Technology Minister, Jennifer Monserrate inaugurated ‘MeWo’ in Goa. With pre-booking of more than 30% of the work nest before its inauguration, the concept has already caught on in Goa proving its need and the gap it is filling in the ecosystem
MeWo – Meetings & Co-Working, positioned as a premier and one of its kind ‘Work Nest’ was inaugurated at Panaji. MeWo is co-founded and is a joint venture between Shrinivas Dempo. chairman of Dempo Group and BIZ Nest a disruptive startup in the co-working space founded by Abrar Shaikh. The concept is being launched to facilitate everything around meetings and co-working for startups and corporates in Goa, who are exploring or who intend to start business operations in the state in an ultra luxurious ‘work nest’ environment in Goa.
Inaugurated in the presence of Chief Minister, Dr. Pramod Sawant and Information Technology Minister, Jennifer Monserrate, MeWo aims to create a premier work space environment and desires to establish their ‘work nest’ in Goa. Both the founders were present at the occasion and looked ecstatic to bring a stepping stone in the ecosystem of Goa, which is bound to pave way for creating numerous jobs and business opportunities in near future for Goans and establish a premier ‘Work Nest’ concept in India.
Chief Minister, Dr. Pramod Sawant commented “Shrinivas Dempo has always cared and worked towards the well being of Goa and growing employment and opportunities for Goans. MeWo is a great initiative supported by him and activated by Abrar Shaikh for pushing the Goan ecosystem forward. MeWo has full support from the Government and I wish them the very best for this impact initiative.”
Information Technology minister, Jennifer Monserrate said, “MeWo is a fresh initiative to grow the Goan ecosystem. Making ‘work nests’ for startups and corporates who are based outside Goa is a brilliant concept. We shall provide full support from the Information Technology Ministry to help MeWo. I wish Shrinivas Dempo and Abrar Shaikh the very best in their journey as partners at MeWo.”
The concept had already caught on before MeWo’s launch with pre-bookings of around 30% from startup founders from Mumbai, Pune and other locations including few from Goa. The gap identified by the founders has reduced with several other signups in the pipeline. The work nest is expected a full house and will expand by 2020.
“The response from the initial customers to whom we showcased MeWo has been overwhelming. We have pre-bookings of around 30% even before the launch. What more can a founder ask for around his concept for validation other than the customer acceptance before its launch? We tried and got as close as possible to our customer needs. We understood their needs even before they realized it themselves and introduced them with MeWo,” said Abrar Shaikh.
Sharing his insights, Shrinivas Dempo commented, “MeWo is a personal initiative, as I want to personally ensure the concept of MeWo scales and generates more employment and startups for growing the Goan ecosystem. Abrar proposed amazing ideas to bring new startups and corporates to Goa due to his research, experience and startup network and the gap that he has discovered. Our interests aligned and then we together decided to co-start MeWo.”
The “Meetings” concept at MeWo shall allow you to get a fully serviced space for your formal and semi-formal meetings with inclusions such as Wi-Fi, Printing, plush ambience, audio and video conferencing, café, personalized housekeeping and more, while the co-working concept integrates with all the amenities. BIZ Nest as a platform provides solutions to landlords and companies looking for office space through its Intellectual Property (IP).
The primary goal is to support and activate new startups in Goa and to establish a ‘Work Nest” in Goa to support bigger corporates of the country which will create more opportunities and employment for Goans
