Flex Mach Technologies, Chennai

Up on the first floor of Lakshmi Illam, that’s where you’ll find us. We are in the 2nd Block on Karuneegar Street. Vadapalani is always crowded, especially near Saidapet Road, so getting to work in the morning can be a bit of a struggle with the traffic. Our office at Flex Mach Technologies has a good view of the street, though the windows need a wash from all the city dust. It gets hot in the afternoons, so the fans are always on high speed. We’ve got machines and parts scattered around the floor right now. It’s not the most organized looking place, but we know where everything is. Chennai weather doesn't make things easy, but we've gotten used to the humidity. Sometimes the local tea seller brings us coffee in the afternoon, which helps keep us going through the long hours. We spend most of our time troubleshooting and looking at technical drawings. It’s a lot of sitting and thinking, then a lot of standing and fixing things. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone to answer the phones in a fancy way. Usually, whoever is closest to the desk just picks it up. It’s a simple setup. We like it here because it’s close to the main market area, even if the parking is a bit of a nightmare. There are plenty of places to grab a quick bite nearby too.
