Global E:Business Operations Pvt. Ltd., Hewlett Packard

We are over here at A-44 in the Diamond District, right on Airport Road in Bangalore. It is a pretty busy spot with a lot of people coming and going every day. This place is basically where we handle a lot of the backend stuff for HP. Some of us have been sitting at these same desks for a few years now. The traffic on Airport Road can be a nightmare sometimes, so most of us try to get in early or stay a bit late to avoid the worst of it. We spend our time on computers, looking at spreadsheets and answering emails to make sure the business side of things stays moving. It’s not always glamorous work, but it keeps us busy and pays the bills. There are several floors here, and you’ll usually see people grabbing tea or coffee in the break areas talking about their weekend plans. Bangalore has changed a lot since we first started, but the Diamond District remains a bit of a landmark for those of us working in tech operations. We just do our jobs, help each other out when the systems get slow, and try to keep things organized. It’s a lot of data and logistics mostly. If you walk through the building, it sounds like a lot of typing and phones ringing. That is basically the life of Global E:Business Operations. We are just part of the bigger HP machine working here in 560008.
