Morgan Stanley Advantage Services

Our office is located in Malad West, right in the thick of things in Mumbai. It’s a pretty big operation here at Morgan Stanley Advantage Services. If you know this part of Maharashtra, you know how busy the 400 064 zip code can get during the rush hour. We have a lot of people working across different floors, mostly dealing with data, numbers, and all the back-end support that keeps the larger gears turning. It isn't like those movies with people shouting on a trading floor. It's mostly quiet clicking of keyboards and people talking over headsets. We have been in this Malad location for a good while. The commute can be a bit of a headache for some of us, especially when the rains start in Mumbai, but we all make it in. We don't really have a showroom or anything for the public to visit. It’s a workspace for the staff to get through the daily pile of tasks. We have a cafeteria where most of us catch up, and that's usually the loudest part of the day. The work is steady and requires a lot of focus on the computer screens. We deal with a lot of international timelines, so sometimes the lights are on late into the night. It’s just a regular part of the job for those of us working here in Malad. We keep our heads down and get the work done. No big speeches, just plenty of hard work from the team.
