As someone who spends over 10-12 hours on a computer every day, I understand the importance of proper workspace ergonomics. Not only does it provide ergonomic benefits, but it has also improved my focus, which is crucial for deep work.

If you're considering purchasing a standing desk, here are some things to look for:
Height adjustment: Standing desks can have manual or motorized height adjustments. If you plan on switching between sitting and standing multiple times a day, a motorized adjustable standing desk is recommended. The recommended sit-to-stand ratio is 1:1 or 2:1. This means that for every 1-2 hours that you sit, it is preferred to stand for 1 hour.
Number of motors: When it comes to motorized standing desks, you can choose between single motor and dual motor options. If your equipment is heavier or you want smoother operation, go for a dual motor standing desk. Single motor standing desks are less expensive but are sufficient for lighter equipment.
Number of stages: This refers to the number of segments in the legs of the standing desk. For desks that support more height, it is generally 3 stage. Otherwise, it is generally 2 stage. Taller people should opt for a 3 stage desk for greater stability.
Height supported: Ergonomically, your elbow should be in line with the desk when standing. Most standing desks support up to 47-48 inches, which is sufficient for people up to 5 ft 10 inches. Dual motor models from Jin and ErgoYou support a height of up to 50 inches, which is ideal for taller individuals.

Cable management: This is an area where many standing desks lack. Ensure that the table has enough space and can hold enough weight to accommodate your work essentials, such as a computer, monitor, keyboard, and any additional accessories you need.
Memory of height stored: This feature is extremely useful. You can set your sitting height and standing height so that every time you need to make a switch, it is one single button.
Size and weight required: Ensure that the desk has enough space to accommodate your work essentials, such as a computer, monitor, keyboard, and any additional accessories you need. If you use multiple monitors or a large monitor or tend to keep multiple items on your desk, you need a standing desk that can hold the maximum weight and is broader.
Aesthetics: While most brands of standing desks have many colors for tabletop options, if you are particular about the color of the tabletop matching your room colors, some brands give only the frame.
Warranty: Warranty varies between 2 and 3 years. I recommend calling the brand service center and checking serviceability in your area before purchasing.

Based on my research, the best standing desks in India are:
Green Soul Trigger single motor 2 stage standing desk if you will not load your standing desk more than 80 kgs and you are up to 5 ft 10 inches in height.
ErgoYou (Dual Motor) 3 stage standing desk if you are a tall person above 5 ft 10 inches or will load your standing desk more than 80 kgs with multiple monitors or gaming equipment.
Sunon standing desk, if you are on a budget, and want a dual motor, 3 stage motor and 100 kg weight support.
Whether you're using a standing or a regular desk, the way the laptop is positioned can be detrimental to your neck and back. I use a desk mat from DailyObjects, which helps to provide the necessary elevation to the laptop so that the laptop screen is at eye level.
In conclusion, standing desks are fairly new in India, so long-term usability and serviceability of the ones available online are still a bit of an unknown. If you have an IKEA in your area or are able to get it shipped to your area, you can check out what they have to offer.
