Icfi

Our small office for Icfi is located at 99 New Civil Line in Vinayak Nagar, Kanpur. It’s right in the middle of a typical UP neighborhood where things can get pretty loud and chaotic during the day. The building itself is number 99, and it’s a bit older, so the walls have that weathered look you see all over Kanpur. Inside, it’s mostly just us sitting around a few large tables with our laptops. There’s no big sign outside, so most people have to look closely at the numbers on the gates to find us. We handle a lot of data and administrative tasks, so there are always folders stacked up in the corners. The heat in Vinayak Nagar can be really intense, especially in May, so we rely heavily on the window units to keep the place bearable. The neighbors are mostly families, so you hear kids playing outside or the occasional street vendor calling out. We aren't trying to be some massive corporation. We’re just a small group of people working out of a rented space in the New Civil Line. It gets the job done. Sometimes we have tea brought in from the stall down the road, and that’s usually the highlight of the afternoon. It’s a very basic setup, nothing fancy or high-tech, just a practical place to work and meet up when we need to coordinate our projects. Most of the people around here know us as the quiet office on the corner.
