World Connect

World Connect is our place over on Thimmaiah Road in Bharathi Nagar, right near the Bangalore GPO. Being at number 114 means we are pretty central, which is helpful for getting around. The area is always busy because of the post office nearby, so there’s a constant stream of people and vehicles moving through the streets. Our shop is fairly basic inside. We have some counters, a few computers, and a lot of wires running along the baseboards. It’s not the most organized looking place, but we know exactly where everything is when we need it. Some days it’s very quiet and we just sit around catching up on emails or cleaning the equipment. Other days, it’s like everyone decided to come in at the same time and we’re running around trying to help everyone at once. We don't use any big slogans or try to impress anyone with fancy talk. We just tell people what we can do and then we do it. The neighborhood has a lot of character, and we’ve made friends with the guys who run the tea stall around the corner. We usually take turns going over there to grab a quick cup in the afternoon. It’s just a normal business in a normal part of Bangalore, trying to stay busy and keep the lights on. It’s been our home base for a good long while now and we’re quite used to the rhythms of Thimmaiah Road.
