Kiran Ponna

This is the place where Kiran Ponna runs things, way up on the third floor of SPS Residency. We are in Flat 304. It’s right across the road from Sahara Estates in the Mansoorabad area. LB Nagar is a pretty crowded part of Hyderabad, so finding a spot like this wasn't easy, but here we are. The lift works most of the time, which is a relief since three floors is a lot to climb in this heat. It’s not a huge setup by any means, just enough room for the desks and the basic tools we need to get through the day. You can see the traffic moving on the main road from the balcony if you stand there long enough during your break. It’s a regular residential building, so the whole place feels a bit more like a home than a stiff, cold office. We actually like it that way. It keeps the atmosphere relaxed for everyone. Sometimes the neighbors in SPS Residency stop by just to say hello or check in. We’ve been here for a bit now, finally getting into a good rhythm with the daily tasks. Hyderabad weather can be something else in the summer, but we manage with a few fans. We aren't doing anything world-changing here, just handling the work that comes our way day by day. Mansoorabad has grown a lot lately. More shops and people everywhere. It’s good to be in the middle of it all without being right on the noisy street.
