Akara Systems

We are tucked away in the Koushik Sai Rama Residency, specifically in the Srinivasa Colony East area of SR Nagar. If you look for the ICICI Bank, there is a small lane right beside it, and that’s where you’ll find us. It’s a bit of a maze back here with all the apartment buildings looking somewhat similar, but we’ve been in this spot for a while now. The residency is a mix of offices and people living there, so there is always someone moving around the corridors. Our space is basically just a few rooms converted into an office, with wires everywhere for the systems we work on. It’s usually pretty quiet inside, except for the sound of keyboards and the hum of the server we keep in the small closet. SR Nagar is a busy part of the city, and finding a place to park a bike in this lane is nearly impossible after ten in the morning. We usually get our coffee from the little stall near the bank, and they know our order by now because we go there so often. The air conditioning works most of the time, though it struggles when the afternoon sun hits the windows. It’s a practical place to work, close to the main road but just far enough back that we don't get all the direct traffic noise. We keep the blinds drawn most of the day to stop the glare on the screens. It’s a standard setup, nothing special to look at.
