National Aerospce Laboratories

Out here on Banneraghatta Road, things are always moving. Our spot is at Vikramnagar, number 648, and if you know the road, you know how the traffic can get. National Aerospce Laboratories is where we spend our days. It’s a lot of technical work, mostly involving things that most people don’t think about when they look at a plane. We’ve got a mix of young guys fresh out of school and older fellas who’ve been here since the place opened. The office is a bit of a mess sometimes with papers everywhere and half-finished models sitting on the corners of desks. We don't really have a receptionist or anything like that, so if someone knocks, whoever is closest to the door usually gets up to see what’s what. Sometimes it’s just a delivery or someone lost looking for a different building. We spend a lot of time checking numbers over and over. It can be tedious, but that’s the nature of the work. The fans in the ceiling have a bit of a wobble, but they keep the air moving during those hot afternoons. We usually bring our own lunch and eat together in the small break area. It’s not a corporate vibe at all, just a group of people who happen to know a lot about aerospace. We just keep our heads down and try to finish our tasks before the evening rush starts on the main road.
