I Tech Media, Mumbai /ERP Magazine

Up here on the 6th floor of Surya House, specifically at 604, things stay fairly busy throughout the week. We are right on Road No.7 in Vidya Vihar East, which is a part of Mumbai that never seems to take a break. Working at I Tech Media and putting together ERP Magazine involves a lot of sitting around and staring at layout drafts. The office gets a bit cramped when the new issues arrive and boxes are stacked up near the entrance. You can hear the trains from the station nearby if you listen closely enough between the phone calls. The walls are covered with old covers of the magazines we’ve worked on over the years. It’s not the kind of place with a lounge or a coffee bar, just a kettle in the corner and some biscuits someone brought from home. We spend a lot of time arguing about where a picture should go or checking if a name is spelled right for the tenth time. Surya House has its quirks, like the elevator that sometimes makes a funny noise, but we are used to it by now. The sun hits the windows pretty hard in the afternoon, so we have to keep the blinds down most of the day. It’s just us doing the work, making sure the pages are ready for the printer. There’s always someone running late with their article, which adds a bit of stress to the afternoon.
