Affinity Resources Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad

We operate out of house number 118 in the Padmaprabhu Nagar Society, which is over in the Sabarmati area of Ahmedabad. If you know the 'D' Cabin area or the old IOC Road, you can find us pretty easily. It’s a quiet residential society mostly, so there aren’t many loud shops or big signs around. We just have a small office space inside where we handle all the resource work. The morning starts with the sound of the trains nearby because of the railway station proximity, and that sort of sets the pace for the day. Our desks are usually piled with folders and sticky notes because things get a bit messy when we are busy. We don’t have a big receptionist or a waiting lounge; people just walk in and sit on whatever chair is free. Sabarmati is a bit dusty because of the construction always going on near the road, so we are constantly wiping down the tables. Most of the guys working here live nearby, so we just walk or take a scooter to get in. We take a long lunch break when the sun is too high, usually getting some food from the local messes around the society. It’s a very basic setup, nothing like those corporate offices you see in the newer parts of Ahmedabad. We just focus on getting through the paperwork and answering emails without making a big fuss about things.
