India Trade Promotion Organisation (Itpo)

India Trade Promotion Organisation, or Itpo as everyone calls us, is based in Pragati Bhawan. We are right there in the middle of Pragati Maidan. It is a massive area and we spend a lot of time walking between buildings. Our office at Pragati Bhawan is pretty standard for a place like this. There are long corridors and lots of rooms filled with desks and cabinets. It’s a very busy environment because there is always some kind of trade show or exhibition being planned. We handle a lot of the coordination and the paperwork that goes along with that. It is not a very quiet place to work. You can always hear people talking in the halls or the sound of construction when a new fair is being set up. We have a lot of people coming in and out every day from all over. The building itself is quite solid and has that official feel to it. We don't have anything fancy in the office like modern lounge areas. We just have our workstations and a place to keep our lunch boxes. The tea stall nearby is where we usually go to get a break from the computers. It’s a lot of work to keep things running in such a large space, but we just take it one day at a time. It’s just a government-style office doing its job in a big city.
