Thermax Ltd, Pune

So, even though the name says Pune, we are actually located down in Bangalore. Specifically, we are at Kurupete in Kanakapura, which is quite a stretch from the city center. Asif Ahmed is the one you’ll find here at A 192. It is a busy little area, and the pin code is 562117. The traffic in Bangalore is always a mess, so getting here in the morning is usually the hardest part of the day. Once we are inside, it is just a quiet place to work. We have a few computers and some old metal cupboards for all the records. It isn’t a high-tech office with fancy espresso machines. We just have a small kettle for tea. The walls could probably use a new coat of paint, but nobody really cares about that as long as the work gets finished. We don’t sit in long meetings talking about goals. We just talk across the desks when something comes up. It’s an honest way to work, without all the corporate layers you find in the big tech parks. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy from the street vendors outside, but that’s just life in this part of town. We’ve been in this building for a long time, and we know all the quirks of the plumbing and the lights. It’s just our regular work home for the team here.
