Hsbc, Bangalore

Our address is 1/E, 3rd Cross, 1st Ase, in Girinagar. That’s in the B S K 3rd Stage area of Bangalore, zip code 560085. We go by Hsbc, Bangalore here. This isn't one of those massive glass buildings you see in the tech parks. We are tucked away in a more residential-feeling part of town. It’s actually quite nice because it isn't as loud as the main roads. We have been here for a while and the locals know where we are. The office is straightforward. We have the equipment we need to do our daily jobs. Usually, it's just a few of us handling the paperwork and whatever else comes up. The 3rd cross is a narrow street so parking can be a bit of a headache if you’re driving a big car. Most of us just take the bus or ride scooters. Inside, the walls are a plain color and we’ve got some old files stacked up. It’s a working office, not a showroom. We don't spend money on fancy decorations. We focus on the tasks at hand. Sometimes we take our tea breaks outside on the corner. It’s a good way to see what’s happening in the neighborhood. We’ve stayed in Girinagar because it’s convenient for everyone. It feels like a real community here rather than just a business district.
