Benjamin Mathew

I’m Benjamin Mathew and I run things from the first floor of I-56 in Gurgaon. The address is quite easy to find compared to some of the newer sectors that keep popping up. Being on the first floor is nice because I get a bit of a view of the street without having to climb too many stairs. Gurgaon has changed so much since I first came here, but this little corner of Haryana feels familiar. My workspace is just a couple of rooms where I’ve set up my equipment and some storage shelves. It’s not a polished corporate office with a receptionist. Usually, it’s just me and maybe one other person helping out with the tasks. The walls are a plain off-white, and I’ve got a few plants on the windowsill that I sometimes forget to water. When it rains, the sound on the windowpanes is quite loud, which I actually find quite nice while I’m typing. I don’t follow a very strict schedule, though I try to be at my desk by nine. The traffic in Gurgaon can be a nightmare, so I’m glad I don’t have to commute very far. It’s a basic, functional space that lets me do what I need to do without any extra fuss. Most of my day is spent dealing with emails or checking on things that need to be finished. It’s a quiet, steady way to make a living in 122001.
