Simplex

The office is tucked away in the Lower P.N Bose Compound in the Lalpur area of Ranchi. If you know the neighborhood, it’s a bit of a busy spot but our corner stays relatively quiet compared to the main road. The pin code is 834001 if you’re trying to find us on a map here in Jharkhand. We’ve got a landline, 0651-6418652, which rings more often than you’d think, though sometimes we’re too busy in the back to catch it on the first ring. It’s a typical local workspace, meaning there’s always a bit of tea being made and people coming in and out with various things to discuss. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking sound when it’s on high speed, but it works fine for us. We go by Simplex, and we’ve been operating out of this compound for some time now. There’s no big sign or flashing lights outside. Usually, the desk is covered in logs and notebooks because we still prefer writing things down by hand when we can. It’s just how we operate. We aren't trying to be the biggest place in town, just a steady one where the work gets done and the tea stays hot. It’s a practical space for practical people, and that suits the way we like to live and work in the city.
