Karnataka State Habitat Centre

You’ll find us on Kanakapura Road, specifically tucked away near the 20th Main and 11th Cross in the 1st Stage. Number 5 is our building. It’s a bit of a walk from the main bus stop but the air is a little better back here. Karnataka State Habitat Centre isn’t a place with a lot of flash. It’s mostly desks piled high with papers and people talking about land and housing projects. The 11th cross is usually parked up with scooters so it can be a bit of a squeeze to get through in the mornings. We spend a lot of time on the phone or looking at land records that are starting to yellow at the edges. The walls in here could probably use a fresh coat of paint but we never seem to get around to it because there is always another project to look at. We get a lot of people coming in asking about how things work with the local regulations. We just sit them down and go through the folders. It’s steady work and it keeps us occupied from morning until evening. The canteen nearby makes decent coffee which is a plus during the long afternoons when the sun hits the front windows. We don't really have a sales team or anything like that. We just provide the space and the information for people who are interested in the habitat projects around the state. It’s a practical environment for practical work. We just do what needs doing every day.
