Strides Arco Labs

If you head down towards Idlavadi Cross and look for the Suraga area in Jakkanahalli, you’ll find us. It’s quite a way out from the main city buzz, which actually helps us focus. Strides Arco Labs is situated in a spot where you can still see some green patches and open fields. The commute is long for most of us, so the mornings usually start with people looking a bit tired from the drive. The lab itself is kept very clean, obviously, but the break room is a different story with half-empty bags of chips and old newspapers. We spend a lot of time in our lab coats doing repetitive tasks that require a lot of concentration. It’s not the kind of job where you see something new every five minutes. It’s about being careful and following the steps. We don't have much of a public face here because we are tucked away at the crossroad. Most of the people who work here live in the nearby villages or travel from the outskirts of the city. It’s a practical place for practical work. We don't have any fancy mission statements or wall art with inspirational quotes. We just have our equipment and our schedules. When the day is done, we lock up and make the long trip back home, usually in the dark. It’s a quiet life out here, but it suits the kind of work we do.
