Oracle India Pvt Ltd

Our place is located on Bannerghatta Road, right in the Mantri Commerce building. Most people just know it as the Shopperstop building in NS Palaya. We are way up on Level 8. Specifically, if you come looking for us, we are in cubicle number 8A129. It’s a huge building, so it takes a few minutes just to get through the security at the gate and wait for the lifts. Once you’re finally up on the eighth floor, it’s a lot quieter than the street downstairs. Bannerghatta Road is always a mess with the metro construction and the buses, so getting here can be a real headache. I usually try to leave home very early to avoid the worst of the traffic jam. The view from the higher floors is actually okay, you can see quite far out over Bangalore. Inside, it's just a standard setup with lots of cubicles and white lights. 8A129 is where I spend my time. It’s not a big open space, but it works for what we do. The air conditioning is always a bit too cold, so most of us keep a sweater at our desks even in the middle of summer. There’s a cafeteria downstairs which is where everyone goes for lunch. It gets really crowded around one o’clock with people from all the different offices. It’s a busy spot but we’ve made our little corner feel okay. Just another day in a big Bangalore office block.
