Central Power Research Institute

We've been here at the CPRI staff colony on New Bel Road in Bangalore for quite a while now. The Central Power Research Institute is basically what we do every day. It’s located at No 76 Type III, which is a spot most locals around here know if they’ve lived in the area for any length of time. We spend our time looking into power stuff, testing things out, and making sure everything works like it should. It isn't a flashy place, just a regular office and lab setup where we get our work done. Some of the staff live right here in the colony, so it’s a bit like a small community inside the city. Bangalore is busy, but our corner on New Bel Road stays pretty focused. We don't really do big ads or anything like that. People who need us usually know where we are. The address is 560 012, just in case someone is trying to find the exact gate. It's mostly just about the daily routine of research and keeping the lights on in a literal sense. We see a lot of people coming and going for different projects. The building has that lived-in feel you get with government spots. We just keep at it, day in and day out, handling whatever power research tasks come across the desk. It's steady work. Nothing more, nothing less. Just a bunch of us working at the institute here in Bangalore.
