National Institute Of Design

This place is located at F/7, Pratishtha Apartments, which is near Shyamal 5 in the Satellite area. Satellite is a busy part of Ahmedabad, so there is always something going on outside. The apartment building itself is a bit older, but it’s sturdy and keeps the heat out pretty well. We are the National Institute Of Design, but it’s not as grand as the name might sound when you just see our small setup here. We have a few rooms filled with books, drafting tables, and some old models we made. The light coming in through the windows in the morning is actually really good for working on drawings. Sometimes the parking in the apartment complex is a real headache because everyone has a car these days. We have a small team here and we mostly keep to ourselves. Usually, we are busy with some sort of project or research. It isn't a retail shop, so we don't get many walk-ins. Mostly it is just the same faces every day. There is a small tea shop around the corner near Shyamal 5 where we usually go when we need a break. The staff there knows our order by heart now. It is just a regular life here in Ahmedabad, trying to get some good design work finished while the city moves around us and the traffic picks up outside.
