Naveen Pittala

Naveen Pittala is based right near the Hyderabad GPO. It’s a good spot to be in because everything is within reach. You can hear the sounds of the city all day long. We’ve been at this address for several years now. It’s a bit of a walk up if you’re coming from the main road, but we don't mind the exercise. The space we work in is pretty basic. We have a couple of computers, some desks that don't quite match, and a small area where we keep the kettle. Tea is a big part of our day. It’s how we start every morning and how we get through the afternoon slump. We don't have any big corporate goals or fancy titles. Naveen is just the person who started it all, and we all just pitch in. We try to be helpful to whoever comes through the door. It’s not about making a huge profit every single day. It’s more about staying consistent and being a part of the local community here in 500001. We’ve seen businesses come and go on this street, but we’ve managed to stick around by keeping things simple. We don't use complicated jargon or try to impress anyone with big words. We just say what we mean and do what we say we will. It’s not much, but it’s what we have built over the years through a lot of hard work and many cups of ginger tea.
