Koteshwar Software

Our little software setup is on New High School Road in VV Puram. Being in Bangalore, you’d expect some big glass building, but Koteshwar Software is just at number 5. It’s an older building on a street that gets very busy, especially in the evenings when people head to the food stalls nearby. We have computers set up on long wooden tables. The wiring is a bit of a nightmare under the desks, but everything works. We spend a lot of time staring at screens. The air conditioner is old and makes a humming sound that we don't even notice anymore. Sometimes the monkeys from the nearby trees come onto the ledge. We just keep our windows shut. It’s a simple atmosphere. We don't have a HR department or a cafeteria. We just go out to the local shops when we’re hungry. The street noise comes in through the vents. We’ve got stacks of notebooks and old hard drives scattered around. It feels like a real workshop. We aren't trying to be the next big startup with bean bags and free snacks. We just write code and fix bugs. The address is easy to find if you know the high school. It’s a quiet life inside the office even if it’s loud outside. The lightbulbs flicker sometimes, so we keep some spares in the drawer. It's just a group of us working on projects. We like the neighborhood because the coffee around here is actually very good and cheap. We stay late most nights.
