Onpassive

We are based in Bangalore, Karnataka, which is basically the IT hub of the country. Onpassive is just another office in this big, busy city. If you’ve ever been to Bangalore, you know how the traffic is—half our morning is spent just trying to get to the desk on time. The office is pretty much what you’d expect, with rows of computers and people drinking too much coffee to stay awake during the afternoon slump. We do a lot of work on the internet and with different software systems. It’s a lot of sitting and typing, which is a different kind of tired compared to physical labor. The weather in Bangalore is usually the best part of the day, so we often step out for a bit of fresh air when the servers are being slow or we need a break from the screen. We have people from all over India working here, so the lunchroom always smells like a mix of different home-cooked foods. It’s a modern way of working, I guess, with lots of meetings and emails that could have been shorter. We aren't doing anything revolutionary every single second; mostly it is just maintaining systems and making sure the digital stuff stays running. It’s a steady job in a fast city, and we just try to get through the tasks without the computers crashing on us before five.
