Hire Edge

Hire Edge is over at 180/A, 5Th C Cross in Sundara Nagara, which is part of the Gokula area in Bangalore 54. It’s a bit of a residential-feeling spot, so it doesn’t always feel like you’re going to a standard office every morning. The street is narrow, and if a big truck comes through, everyone has to pull their bikes over to let it pass. We are in a building that looks like a lot of the others on the block. It’s got that solid, lived-in feel to it. Inside, it’s mostly just desks and chairs and piles of paper that we swear we are going to file away eventually. We don't have a fancy coffee machine, just a basic kettle in the corner for when someone needs a drink. The walls are mostly bare, except for maybe a calendar or a few notes taped up near the light switches. It gets a bit warm in the afternoons, but we have some fans that keep the air moving well enough for everyone. People in the neighborhood know us by sight now, and we usually say hello to the shopkeeper at the end of the cross when we head out for the day. It is a very grounded way to work. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a big lobby or leather chairs. We are just here at our spot in Gokula, keeping our heads down and getting through the daily workload as it comes to us.
