WeCrashed

WeWork grew from a single New York coworking space into a $47 billion company in under a decade. Within a year, most of that value was gone.

In 2022 the story became an 8-episode Apple TV+ series based on Wondery's podcast WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork, with Jared Leto as Adam Neumann and Anne Hathaway as Rebekah Neumann. It premiered on 18 March 2022.

What we see in Guwahati

Guwahati is the North-East's business hub, and its coworking runs along GS Road, through Christian Basti, Ulubari, Bhangagarh and out to Six Mile and Beltola. The members are the regional offices of companies covering the eight North-East states, NGOs and development-sector teams, government-project consultants, startups from the region's incubators, and professionals who returned from Delhi and Bengaluru and work remotely.

Regional offices take cabins for a year and want the GST invoice in the parent company's name, so billing accuracy decides how fast they pay. NGOs and development teams bring frequent visitors and need meeting and training rooms by the day. And because many members travel across the region for weeks at a time, invoices, receipts and renewal reminders on WhatsApp, with a payment link, keep collections on time without a phone call.
