The aim was to make it a temple of excellence: Kavin Mittal on Hike Messenger's new Bengaluru office

Bengaluru is home to some of the hottest Indian startups, each with its own share of bragging rights where chic offices are concerned. Word is, the latest startup to throw its hat in the ring will be the Kavin Mittal-founded, Hike Messenger.

The Delhi-based unicorn startup is expected to open its fancy office in the IT city by the month-end. And expectations are high, considering that Mittal has often spoken about the role office design plays in fostering an environment of collaboration and creativity. A few months after Hike moved into its new office in Delhi, Mittal had told ETPanache, “It’s a pretty rad office. The simple aim was to make it a temple of excellence, where employees are super motivated and want to do their best every day.”

Gardens, open spaces, nap room, gym, cafeteria, you name it, they have it. All eyes on the southern outpost of the startup.
