You can find us at Dhanraj Mahal in Colaba. Our office is F-34. This is a very old and beautiful building right in the Apollo Bunder area. Being near the Gateway of India means there are always tourists and a lot of activity outside. The building itself has very thick walls and high ceilings, so it stays relatively cool even when it is hot outside. We’ve been here for a while and the office has a bit of a lived-in feel. We have old wooden desks and shelves filled with papers and books. It’s not the kind of place with modern cubicles. We prefer the traditional look of the space. Most of our day is spent reading through documents and answering emails. Sometimes we walk down towards the water during our break just to get some fresh air. The atmosphere in Colaba is different from the rest of Mumbai; it feels a bit more historical. Our office is quiet compared to the street, but you can still hear the taxis outside. We don’t have any big signs or flashy advertisements. People usually find us through word of mouth or by looking for the room number in the hallway. It’s a very steady place to work. We just show up, do our tasks, and go home. There is a sense of history in these walls that you don’t get in the newer office buildings.
