Prabanjans Media Lab Pvt. Ltd.

You’ll find us on the second floor at No.216-D in VRS Nagar. It’s right by the 5th bus stop in Cheranma Nagar, so the sound of the buses is pretty constant in the background. We call it a media lab, but really it’s just a room full of computers and some cables running everywhere. We spend hours staring at screens, cutting video or looking at images until our eyes get tired. It isn’t a glamorous life like people think media is. It’s a lot of waiting for files to render and drinking tea while we wait. We started here because the location was convenient for us. We don't have a receptionist or a lobby. You just walk up the stairs and you’re in the middle of the workspace. Sometimes we are out with cameras, trying to get decent footage despite the rain or the traffic. Other days we just sit here and try to organize all the digital files we have. We aren't some big agency with a hundred employees. It’s a small team, and we all do a bit of everything. If the lights go out, we take a break. If a client needs a quick edit, we stay late. That is just how the lab operates. We’ve been at this 5th bus stop location for a while now, and we’re used to the rhythm of the neighborhood. It is a bit loud and cramped, but it works.
