Igate

Igate has another spot at 43, 24th Main Road in the 2nd Cross of HSR First Sector, near Agara in Bangalore. HSR is a very popular area for startups and small businesses, so there’s always a lot of energy and people around. Our building is right on the main road, which makes it easy to find but it can also be a bit noisy with all the traffic. You can always hear the horns and the hum of engines from inside. We occupy a small portion of the building. It’s a functional setup with rows of desks and a small area for lunch breaks. The 24th Main is packed with places to eat, so we never run out of options for food. We usually head out in groups to grab something quick from the local joints. The office itself is quite plain. We have the usual stuff—computers, printers, and a water cooler that always seems to be running out. We don't have any fancy art or expensive furniture. It’s just a place where we come to work and nothing else. Sometimes the power goes out, and we have to wait for the backup to kick in, which is just part of living in this city. We’ve got a mix of people working here, and everyone just gets along. We don't have many formal meetings; we mostly just chat across the room to get things sorted. It’s a busy environment.
