Ista, Bangalore

It is a bit funny because the name says Bangalore but we are actually sitting right here in New Delhi. We are located at S-229 on the ground floor in Greater Kailash-1. If you know the 110048 area, you know how busy it gets with shoppers and cars everywhere. Being on the ground floor means we get a good look at the street life while we work. Ista has been in this spot for a while, and it has become our regular routine. The office is not very big, just a straightforward workspace with some desks and a couple of computers. We do not have any of those fancy modern lounges or anything like that. It is just a place where we sit down and handle our business every day. Parking around here is a total nightmare most of the time, so we usually tell people to take a rickshaw if they are coming over. We spend a lot of our time on the phones or dealing with documents. It is a noisy neighborhood, but you get used to the sound of the traffic after a week or two. We do not use any big corporate language or have meetings about mission statements. We just show up, do what needs to be done, and try to beat the traffic on the way home. It is a very normal, local way of doing things at S-229.
