Kiona Software Solutions

Palayil House is where we set things up. It’s right here in Karukutty, which is a quiet spot in Angamaly. We started Kiona Software Solutions because we wanted to work closer to home instead of commuting to the main city every day. My brother and I handled everything at first, just setting up a few desks in one of the spare rooms. It can get pretty humid in Ernakulam, so the AC usually runs all afternoon while we're hunched over the screens. People in Karayaparambu know the house, so they sometimes drop by just to say hello or ask what we're actually doing in here with all the wires and computers. We don't have a big fancy office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a regular house where we do our coding and technical work. Sometimes the neighbors' kids make a bit of noise outside, but it’s mostly peaceful. We spend most of our time staring at lines of code or trying to fix bugs that shouldn't be there. The internet acts up whenever there’s a heavy rain, which happens a lot around here. When that happens, we just take a break and have some tea on the porch. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it works for us. We've been at this address for a while now and the commute is just a few steps from the kitchen to the desk.
