Cisco Systems

Our location is No 21 on the 1st Block, 2nd Main in Ayappa Nagar, which is over in the Devasandra area of K R Puram. This part of Bangalore is quite residential, so it feels a lot different than the city center. Our office is basically a converted house, which gives it a bit of a strange but comfortable layout. We have desks in what used to be the living room and some more equipment in the back rooms. It’s a bit of a tight squeeze sometimes, especially when we have a lot of gear delivered. There’s a small garden out front that’s mostly just some overgrown bushes and a few pots, but it’s nice to look at. We spend most of our time dealing with systems and cables. The neighborhood is usually quiet, except for the occasional delivery truck or the sound of kids playing nearby. We don’t have a big sign outside or anything like that, so you might miss us if you aren't looking closely for the house number. We like the pace here. It’s not as frantic as the tech hubs, but we still stay busy from morning until evening. We aren't big on meetings or fancy presentations; we just prefer to get the work finished so we can go home to our families. It’s a very grounded way to work, and we’ve made this space our own over the years in Ayappa Nagar.
