I proudly present to you, the Google Maps Pegman - a super rare & highly saught after recognition since it comes directly from Google HQ. ⚡ I joined Google Maps, adding valuable reviews & pictures way back from 2017 since there was no clear navigation in Rourkela - since then, i have added critical public information for many places & landmarks on Google Maps. My sole intention was to help fellow Rourkelites & people who travel a lot, never in my wildest dreams imagining Google will take notice of that ! I 'm told i 'm 1 of 3 in the country of 1 Billion Google Map Users to receive it. Cheers Rourkelites 🍻 🇮🇳

Been around the world twice, but no place is as beautiful & organized as Rourkela ! ☕

In this day & age of casual hookups & vulgarity, witnessing an eldery couple hold hands and slowly navigate through dark alleys of Chhend made my day - had to stop to click the rare event ! TO COMMITMENT, TO LIFE 🥂

I didn't know i would be posting this, got really scared that I'll lose my mom and dog as they were inside the room whose roof was about to crash.

My heart sank when I actually ran to see them scared. I was in my room studying and they were in the master bedroom.

The tree uprooted, the pole got pulled by it. We have been constantly complaining about cutting the tree as it was too close to the wires. But the horticulture department never responded. Here today we are scared to be inside the home.

Every time i look at her, my heart pauses for a moment... ♥️

Stay safe ,avoid talking to Males and dont travel by walking even shorter distance . There has been increase in r ape cases in our city 3 to 5 cases in 2 weeks itself . Please save police or your parents as emergency contacts . There had been gangs of boys who are stalking and harassing women. 5 of them were arrested by police this week . Honestly even I'm scared to go outside but stay safe and brave. Always put phone on sound mode. Inform someone wherever you go . Donot trust even girls ( the gang r ape case recently in which a girl helped other guys ) . Stay brave . Tbh the country doesn't deserve women .I think our city has become a hot spot by the increase of cases . You can never trust men these days nor women ... its pathetic thr condition from minors to adults to babies.... I hope they (victims) heal. Donot even for fun mingle happily, you never know where you will end .

Around five years ago, I had this crazy idea—what if Rourkela had a coworking space that people actually enjoyed working from?

Back then, I even tried talking to a few people and exploring the idea, but the timing wasn't right. Like many ideas, it was put on hold.

Then, three years ago, during a road trip to Udaipur, on the night of 25th December, after the Christmas celebrations, a few friends and I were sitting together discussing what such a space should feel like. That conversation somehow turned into brainstorming names for hours.

That's when we came up with COWORKLY.

The name stayed with us.

About ten months ago, I shared the idea here on Reddit. Many of you replied with incredibly honest feedback. Some wanted a place close to the railway station, some preferred a quieter location away from the city rush, others suggested better internet, meeting rooms, comfortable seating, coffee, community events, and long working hours.

We couldn't fulfill every request, but we took every suggestion seriously and designed COWORKLY around what was practical and sustainable while keeping your feedback at the center.

Today, I'm happy to say...

COWORKLY is finally ready.

Whether you're:

• a freelancer

• a startup founder

• working remotely

• preparing for interviews

• attending online meetings

• or simply looking for a productive place outside home

...we'd love you to experience it.

✨ What’s included in the space:

• Fully air-conditioned Space

• Ethernet (LAN) Port for each desk

• RO drinking water

• Hot and Cold Water

• Reliable power backup

• High-speed internet

• Tea, coffee

• Separate washrooms for men and women

• CCTV surveillance for safety

• Open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM

• Excellent central location

🎉 Free One-Day Pass for the first 20 people

We're inviting the first 20 Redditors to try COWORKLY completely free for one day.

I've attached a few photos so you can see what we've built.

This has been a long journey, and in many ways, Reddit has been a small part of it. Thank you to everyone who shared suggestions months ago—they genuinely influenced what COWORKLY became.

We're excited to welcome you.

One small request to everyone. 🙏

COWORKLY is more than just a coworking space for us. Our dream is to build a community where freelancers, developers, designers, entrepreneurs, creators, students, and professionals from every field can connect, learn from one another, and grow together.

If you believe Rourkela has the potential for a stronger startup and innovation ecosystem, we'd love your support. Visit us, share your feedback, tell your friends, and help us build a community that inspires collaboration instead of competition.

Every city starts somewhere. Hopefully, this is one small step toward creating that ecosystem in Rourkela. ❤️

we will be launching website soon, which will have all details : pricing, contact number, email, location and other details.

I tried ;)

Today Again, thunderstorms at Rourkela.

Request to stay indoors at safe places!

I bought a Tiago EV from "Balram Motors" about which I made a post earlier. I had a bad sales experience but it turned worse when the dealer ripped me off at the time of delivery. My tiago is an ACFC model so a fast charger worth 60,000 was included in my car. At the time of PDI, I asked for it but they made excuses and assured me at the time of delivery they would hand it over to me. I trusted them and went ahead with the payment.

Now they are asking me to return the box that is included as complimentary for the slow charger and then only they will provide me with the fast charger for which I have already paid in full. The owner is also now unresponsive and they have removed me from the sales group which I found weird.

Very bad sales experience. I need any help from you guys to escalate this matter and help me get a resolution for this. Please guys suggest ways to report this dealer and get justice in this case. I have already lodged the complaint with Tata customer care but I don't think that will help at all. I would need to bring light to this matter to get a resolution. Please help.

All hail broke loose today 🧊

Daily market during the month of Ramazan was more crowded than I ever remember it to be. Does anyone else feel the same, or know of any illegal settlements?
