Building a Sustainable WFH Setup
Working from the dining table is fine for a day, but terrible for a year. A proper home office setup pays for itself in prevented physiotherapy bills and increased productivity.
The Ergonomic Core
Your chair is your most critical piece of equipment. Look for adjustable lumbar support, seat height, and armrests. Brands like Green Soul and Sleep Company offer good ergonomic chairs in the 10k-15k range.
The Visual Workspace
A secondary monitor is the biggest single productivity boost you can buy. A 24-inch or 27-inch 1080p/1440p monitor from BenQ, LG, or Dell is perfect for most office work. Pair it with a sturdy monitor arm to free up desk space.
Power & Connectivity
In India, power cuts (even brief ones) can ruin a meeting or drop a VPN connection. A mini UPS for your Wi-Fi router (like Resonate RouterUPS) is an absolute must-have.
