Microsoft

You can find us at Flat No Dg on the ground floor of Shradha Heights. It is in CV Ramanagar, Bangalore 560093. Being on the ground floor is handy because we don't have to wait for the elevator, which is often broken anyway. The flat has been converted into our office space for Microsoft. It still feels like an apartment in some ways, with the kitchen area being used for our files and the small balcony holding some old boxes. It is a bit tight when everyone is in at the same time, but we make it work. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so it is relatively calm compared to the main roads. We have some plants by the window that someone remembers to water every now and then. Our daily routine is pretty simple. We show up, check what needs doing, and get to it. There is no corporate dress code here; most of us just wear what is comfortable. We usually hear the neighbors' kids playing outside in the afternoons. It is an honest sort of workplace. We don't have a big budget for decorations, so the walls are mostly bare except for a calendar and some notes taped up. The security guard at Shradha Heights is a friendly old man who always asks how the business is going. We tell him it is busy enough to keep us out of trouble. It is just a small team of us doing our best in a converted flat in Bangalore.
