Monetization strategy
Oru has four revenue streams:
- Coworking – Hot Desking, Fixed Desks & Private Offices
- Wellbeing – Wellness classes, workshops & events
- Food – Daytime cafe and evening restaurant Trinco
- Spa/Bar/Events – due in 2024.
The four areas work together seamlessly, “crafting a multi-faceted hub designed to nurture collaboration and creativity.”
The diverse income stream allows “for regular fixed income from coworking to be paired with transactional revenue from wellness and hospitality, resulting in four independent, reliable income streams, both B2B and B2C, that interact with one another.”
