Ecalibre Engineering Consultants Pvt.Ltd, Chennai

Our office is tucked away in Thiruvanmeyur, specifically at 836 Ch-90. It's a decent area of Chennai, not as loud as the middle of the city but it still gets quite busy around rush hour. We handle engineering consulting, mostly looking at plans and making sure things work the way they should for various buildings. The place we are in has been around for a long time and it feels like a regular, old-school workplace. We don’t have fancy glass walls or a coffee machine that makes expensive lattes. It’s mostly just desks, computers, and a lot of paper stacked up. Sometimes the sea breeze reaches us if the wind is right since we aren't too far from the coast. Most of the staff here have been with us for a good amount of time, so we are like a small family. We know the neighbors and the guy who sells snacks down the street. It’s a quiet way to work, really. We spend most of our mornings checking emails and then the afternoons are for the heavy technical work. It can get a bit repetitive, but we like what we do and the people we work with. Engineering is all about getting the details right, so that’s what we spend our hours on. If the power goes out, which happens sometimes, we just wait it out or chat for a bit. It’s a very Chennai way of doing things.
