Barista Coffee Company Ltd

We are over in Chembur, tucked away in the Siddhivinyak Housing Society at 206-A. It’s very close to the Tilak Nagar Station, so we hear the trains going by all day long. It’s a busy little pocket of Mumbai. This isn't one of the cafes where you sit and drink coffee; it’s more of an administrative spot for Barista Coffee Company Ltd. The room is filled with files and some old computers. We spend a lot of time coordinating things from here. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so we keep the windows open, even if it brings in the noise from the street. The building is a bit old, and the stairs are narrow. We know all the security guards and the folks living in the society. It’s a very residential vibe for an office. We don’t have a fancy coffee machine here, which is kind of funny. Most of us just get tea from the guy around the corner. We handle the boring side of the coffee business—receipts, schedules, and maintenance logs. It’s not glamorous, but it keeps the shops running. We’ve been here in Mumbai 89 for a while. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we never seem to find the time. We just focus on getting the paperwork done so the cafes have what they need. It’s a small, hardworking group of people in this little office space.
