Why DeskShare Exists: Building the Future of Flexible Work in Pakistan
The traditional office model is changing rapidly. Companies are downsizing their physical spaces, remote work is becoming the norm, and freelancers are seeking professional environments without the overhead of long-term leases. Yet, in Pakistan, we've noticed a significant gap between available office space and the growing demand for flexible work environments.
The Problem We Observed
Wasted Space, Missed Opportunities
Across Pakistan's major cities—Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi—we've seen countless companies with beautiful office spaces that sit empty for large portions of the day. Conference rooms unused for weeks, desks gathering dust, and entire floors barely occupied. Meanwhile, talented freelancers, startups, and remote workers struggle to find affordable, professional workspaces.
The Freelancer's Dilemma
Pakistan has one of the world's largest freelance communities, with thousands of skilled professionals working with international clients. These freelancers need:
- Professional meeting spaces for client calls
- Reliable internet and infrastructure
- A productive environment away from home distractions
- Networking opportunities with like-minded professionals
Yet, traditional coworking spaces often come with expensive monthly memberships that don't fit the flexible nature of freelance work.
The Startup Challenge
Emerging startups face similar challenges. They need professional spaces for team meetings, client presentations, and day-to-day operations, but committing to long-term office leases can be financially risky, especially in the early stages.
Our Vision: Connecting Unused Space with Unmet Demand
DeskShare was born from a simple yet powerful idea: what if we could connect companies with unused office space to individuals and teams who need flexible workspace solutions?
For Space Providers
Companies with unused office space can:
- Generate additional revenue from their existing infrastructure
- Reduce the cost per square foot of their office space
- Create networking opportunities with innovative professionals
- Support the local entrepreneurial ecosystem
For Space Seekers
Freelancers, startups, and remote workers can:
- Access professional workspaces on-demand
- Pay only for the time and space they actually use
- Choose from various locations across major Pakistani cities
- Enjoy the benefits of established office infrastructure
The Impact We're Creating
