Kisan Network

The Kisan Network office is tucked away in 2Ab, Gee Gee Emerald, right in the heart of Nungambakkam. Chennai is always hot, and the air conditioning in our office is constantly fighting a losing battle. We are a small team and most of our day is spent on the phone or hunched over laptops. We work on things that connect farmers to different services, but inside the office, it’s mostly a lot of typing and occasional shouting when the internet goes slow. Nungambakkam is a busy area, so there is always somewhere to grab a coffee or a quick bite, but we usually just stay at our desks. The walls are mostly bare, except for a few scribbled notes on whiteboards that only we understand. It’s not a fancy corporate space with glass walls. It feels more like a workshop where we are trying to figure things out as we go. We get calls from all over, and sometimes the language barrier makes things interesting, but we manage. There is a lot of energy in the room, even on the humid days when everyone is feeling a bit tired. We don't have a big reception desk; if you walk in, you'll just see us working. It’s a plain, functional space where we get the daily tasks done without much ceremony or polished talk. We just want to get things done.
