It is a Tuesday evening in a basement room in Kuwait City’s Dasman Complex, a cluster of art supply shops and offices.
More than a dozen women – Kuwaitis and expats – are listening intently to 28-year-old finance graduate Arwa Al-Jaser.
Ms Al-Jaser used to work in a government job. But since September she has been a member of the team behind Mukankom, a website for renting workspace, offices and meeting rooms by the hour.
