Shapoorji Pallonji & Co Ltd. (Mumbai)

We are based at Vishal Corner, specifically in Flat No. 8 at Vidya Nagar in the Dhanori area of Pune. Even though the company name mentioned Mumbai, we’ve been operating out of this Pune flat for a while now. It’s a regular apartment that we’ve turned into our workspace. Vidya Nagar is a growing area, so there’s always some construction or something happening nearby. Being in a flat means we don't have a big storefront or a corporate entrance. You just come up the stairs like you're visiting a neighbor. It’s a bit cramped with all the files and equipment we have lying around, but it gets the job done. The commute in Pune can be pretty bad with the traffic in Dhanori, so we try to get in early before the roads get completely blocked. We don't have a polished corporate image or a fancy website. We just use our desks and talk to people on our phones all day. It’s a very normal, everyday kind of setup. We have a small kitchen area where we make tea and eat our lunch. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s practical and it keeps us close to the local projects we are working on. We aren't trying to be something we're not. We are just a team working out of a flat in Pune, keeping things moving along as best as we can without much fuss.
