Shangri-La Hotel,New Delhi

The Shangri-La Hotel, New Delhi has this particular office located at A-4/40 in Masigarh, on the first floor in Sukhdev Vihar, New Delhi-25. It’s in a neighborhood that’s mostly residential and quiet, which is a different vibe from the luxury of the hotel itself. Here, it’s all about the practical side of the business. We have rows of grey filing cabinets and several desks where we sit and work on computers all day. It’s a functional space without any of the gold trim or marble you might expect when you hear the name. We deal with the logistics and the support work that keeps everything running behind the scenes. The office gets some good natural light through the windows, which is nice in the winter. We have a small corner for water and tea, and that’s about all we have for amenities. It’s a place where we just get on with the job. There’s no corporate talk or big speeches here. We mostly talk about our families and the traffic while we work through the endless stacks of paper. The commute to Sukhdev Vihar is manageable for most of the team. We’ve been at this address for a long time and we have a solid routine. It’s a steady job in a calm part of town. We don't have any missions; we just try to make sure everything is in the right place before we leave for the day.
