Central Silk Technological Research Institute

So, we are the Central Silk Technological Research Institute. We are located at 160 on 17th Main, right near the 29th Cross in Banashankari II Stage. That’s in Bangalore, 560070. We’ve been in this part of Bangalore for a good long time. It’s a busy area, but our office stays pretty focused on the technical side of silk. We aren’t really into the whole marketing thing. We just have our labs and our workspace where we look at how silk is processed and how the technology can be improved. It’s a lot of hands-on work and looking at machinery or fabrics. The building is a bit older, sitting right there on the corner of the 17th Main road. You see a lot of local traffic passing by every day. We aren't some giant corporation with a polished lobby; it’s more of a place where people wear lab coats or just casual clothes and get to work. Most of the people working here have lived in Bangalore for years, so it feels like a very local operation. We just take it one day at a time, doing the research that’s needed for the industry. If you’re around Banashankari II Stage, you’ve probably walked past us a dozen times without thinking much of it. It’s just a steady, working environment for those of us here.
