The internet is full of advice on how startups should cut costs. Much of them start with ‘start from home’ and lead to ‘cut down on the fancy furniture’ and ‘go green’. Some go as far as suggesting ‘keep manpower thin’. In an era of global warming, ‘go green’ is a solution not only for startups but for all small enterprises and large conglomerates too, an activity that cuts across industries – very important to earn carbon credits. Start from home, may sound like an ideal situation, yet it requires a lot of disciplining and deprives employees and often clients of a formal work and discussion environment. A garage instead could be a better solution. Yes, cutting down on fancy furniture, and browsing through deals sites for furniture or travel tickets may not be such a bad idea.
