Stiven Systems, Bangalore

You can find us on the second floor of Yashodha Nilaya. It’s right there at Balaji Cross on Katheriguppa Main Road. Being in Banashankari 3rd Stage means there is always something going on outside. Stiven Systems has been operating from this spot for a good bit now. We do a lot of technical work, mostly sitting at our benches with tools and components. The stairs up to the second floor are a bit steep, so we get our exercise. It’s not a giant corporate park, just a regular building with other local businesses. We have a few workbenches that are always covered in wires and boards. We try to keep it organized, but when we’re busy, things tend to pile up. The light in the office is okay during the day. We’ve got some regular customers who have been coming to us since we opened. We don't do much advertising. People usually find us through word of mouth or by seeing the sign when they're stuck in traffic on the main road. It’s a practical setup. We fix things and put systems together. That’s about it. We take our breaks at the small shops downstairs. It’s a good community here. We just stay focused on the work at hand and try to get everything finished before the sun goes down. It’s a simple life in a busy part of Bangalore. We usually close for a bit during the lunch hour.
