Macmillan India Limited, Bangalore

Our office is located right across from the BDA Complex in Banashankari II Stage. If you know this area of Bangalore, you know how crowded it gets around the 22nd Main and 22nd Cross during the day. We are based in the Neelamresidency building. It’s a pretty functional space for us. We’ve got books and stacks of papers almost everywhere because that’s just the nature of what we do here at Macmillan India Limited. It’s not a quiet library vibe though, even with all the books. There’s always someone talking loudly on the phone or the sound of the big printer going off in the corner. We’ve been in this part of Bangalore for a good while now. The commute can be a bit of a nightmare during the morning peak hours, but being near the complex is convenient for grabbing lunch or running quick errands. The building itself is okay, but it's nothing special to look at from the outside. Inside, it’s mostly just desks and people working through manuscripts or long distribution lists. We don't have a big corporate cafeteria or anything, so we mostly head out to the local food stalls. It’s a practical place to be. We focus on the daily tasks of getting things printed and shipped out on time. The team is small but we've worked together for years, so we know each other's habits well. Sometimes the elevator acts up, so we just take the stairs to stay fit.
