Inspiration from Nature- Basic Building Blocks for Scaling a Business.



What is the basic building block for your Business? Well before you answer that question lets take a look at nature.



You will notice that there is a spiral pattern getting repeated.











This pattern is drawn more precisely like this.




Notice how the spiral can go on till infinity. The ratio of the sides of the rectangle is 1.618 and is known as the Golden Number. It is called so because this pattern is found so often in nature. It is almost like a basic building block of nature.

Nature builds one tiny "fractal" with the Golden Number / Golden Ratio and replicates it for scale. The same principle can be used for scaling a business. Get the Golden Number for your business and then it scales. For Starbucks, it is the combination of good quality coffee, the ambiance, etc. Once you get the right mix the business is ready to scale. For Google, it is searching and being a repository of all information. For LinkedIn it is connections. For Facebook it is friendships.

The Golden Number is the inspiration for the Golden Square Business Centre Logo.



One needs to get the basic building block right for creating a business which will scale. All the components just in the right proportion. Getting it right needs insight, work, luck, time. And all this happens when the business is small, when it needs to be nurtured and needs a home. Golden Square Business Centre is that home, a safe harbor and has been that for more than 1000 companies in Bangalore since it started in 1995. While we have helped our Customers get started and helped them in their growth, we are growing as well. In a few days, the 4th Branch of Golden Square will be operational in JP Nagar Bangalore. 


Interested in the Golden Number or Phi?

Those of you who have read Dan Brown's, Da Vinci Code will recall Phi.

3 Ways in Which Co-working Enhances Productivity

Work is worship is what we’ve all grown up listening to, and by this very definition it is an exercise that is meditative, absorbing and indulgent. The purpose of work as defined by us has undergone a significant shift through the years. What began as a single-minded practical means to earn a livelihood, then became one of engagement and collaboration with fellow workers. The definition of work today isn’t just about earning for the self, but also ensuring that we are happy doing what we do. Being productive is therefore about getting the maximum done out of the few hours we put into work everyday. Different people work in different spaces and there are varying factors that affect productivity. While some work all by themselves and love their flexible timings, others work with organisations that focus on specific tasks and goals. Co-working falls midway between these two extremes. It allows professionals to go about their own tasks but also provides the opportunity to collaborat
