Alina

Over here at Alina, we’re based out of Porur on Anna Salai. We have plots 2 and 3 in Lakshmi Nagar. It’s a busy area and the traffic on the main road can be quite a lot, but once you turn into Lakshmi Nagar, it gets a little calmer. The building is simple and we’ve been here for quite some time now. We don't have those big glass windows like the malls; it's more of a practical setup. Usually, the morning starts with everyone getting in and maybe someone bringing in snacks from the local shop nearby. We spend our days dealing with whatever comes up. The fan is almost always on because of the heat. It’s not the quietest place, but it’s where we get things done. Most of us live nearby, so Porur is a familiar spot for everyone. We’ve got enough space for what we do, though we sometimes have to rearrange things to make more room. There’s no big sign or anything flashy. If you walk past, you might not even realize how much goes on inside plots 2 and 3. We just like to keep it simple and keep moving forward. It’s just a regular bunch of people working at Alina, trying to keep up with the daily tasks. It’s nothing fancy, just a real place where work happens every day. We just try to get everything finished before we head home in the evening.
