Rao & Swami

We are situated at 41306 Queens Road in the Mehta Pole area. It’s a very specific part of the city with a lot of history behind it. The office is in an old building that has been around for decades. You can see the age in the way the doors creak and the height of the ceilings. Queens Road is always humming with some kind of activity. There’s a lot of dust that comes in from the street so we are constantly wiping down the desks in the morning. We have a lot of metal cabinets where we store everything we need. They are heavy and old, but they get the job done. The layout is a bit strange with small hallways and rooms that don't quite line up. We’ve set up our computers wherever there was a free outlet. It’s a bit of a maze of wires under the desks. We usually have a radio playing somewhere in the background, just low enough to be a hum while we work. The light bulbs are a bit dim so it feels quite cozy in the evenings when it is dark outside. We don’t really have many visitors, so we just focus on the work on our screens. It’s a quiet life inside the office, even if it’s loud outside. We’ve got a routine that hasn't changed in years. It’s just us doing our thing in our little corner of Mehta Pole.
