Working Remotely from Mumbai: How to Set Up a Productive Stay

· Updated

Work desk, sofa and TV in a work from home apartment in Mumbai

More people now spend a few weeks or months working from Mumbai: freelancers, remote employees, NRIs visiting family and teams on long projects. Mumbai is energetic and inspiring, but it is also busy and noisy. A bit of planning helps you stay productive.

Choose a work-friendly apartment

Your stay is your office. Look for:

Desk and chair with lit mirror in a work-friendly apartment
  • A real desk and a good chair, not just a bed and a sofa.
  • Fast, reliable Wi-Fi. Ask before you book.
  • A quiet room away from main-road noise.
  • A kitchen, so you are not losing an hour finding lunch every day.
  • Housekeeping, so your space stays clean without effort.

Every Rudraya Homes apartment in Khar West has a work desk, high-speed Wi-Fi, a kitchen and housekeeping. See studio apartments in Mumbai for solo stays.

Pick the right neighbourhood

Bandra and Khar West are popular with remote workers: lots of cafes, good food, sea-facing walks for breaks and easy access to the airport. See where to stay in Mumbai.

Build a simple routine

  1. Start early, before the city gets loud and busy.
  2. Take a proper lunch break. Cook in, or walk to a nearby cafe.
  3. Get outside in the evening. A walk on Carter Road clears your head.
  4. Keep weekends for exploring the city.

Working from cafes

Bandra and Khar have many cafes that suit a laptop for an hour or two. Go on weekday mornings and order regularly. See our cafes in Bandra guide.

Time zones

If your team is in Europe or the US, you may work in the evening or late at night. That makes a quiet apartment with self check-in and a comfortable desk even more important than in a normal trip.

The monsoon

Between June and September, heavy rain may keep you indoors for long stretches. Make sure your apartment is comfortable enough to spend a whole day in. Read our monsoon guide.

Staying healthy

  • Drink plenty of water; Mumbai is humid.
  • Use the kitchen for some home-cooked meals.
  • Walk daily: Bandstand, Carter Road and Juhu Beach are all close by.
