Mckinsey Company

Silver Oak Apartment in DLF Phase 1 is where we spend most of our daylight hours. Specifically, we are at 55 100, which is a bit of a maze to navigate if you haven't been here before. It is a solid building, though, and it feels safe. Outside, the trees are nice, but the dust from the construction down the road always finds its way onto the windows. Inside our space, things are pretty functional. We have our desks set up in a way that makes sense for us, even if it looks a bit cluttered to an outsider. There are always a few half-empty water bottles lying around and stacks of paper that need filing. We aren't the type to have everything perfectly organized like in a magazine. It’s more about being comfortable while we work. The air conditioner is a bit loud, but it keeps the Gurgaon humidity at bay, so nobody complains. We usually eat lunch together at the big table in the middle of the room. It’s a good time to stop thinking about the screen for a bit. Being in DLF Phase 1 means there’s always something happening nearby, which is nice. You can hear the sounds of the city, but once you’re inside the apartment, it’s mostly just the clicking of keyboards and someone occasionally getting up to stretch their legs. That’s how we do things here.
