Polaris Software Lab

Our office for Polaris Software Lab is on the 6th floor of the Chankaya building, located on Devi Dayal Road in Mulund West. Being in Mumbai, space is always a bit tight, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need into unit 601. It’s a busy building with a lot of different offices, so the elevators are usually a long wait during the morning rush. We spend our days working on software lab tasks. The view from the window isn't much, just more buildings and the busy street below. Mulund West is a decent place to work, though the commute on the local trains can be a real struggle for some of the staff. We try to keep the atmosphere inside the office fairly relaxed to make up for the chaos of the city outside. We have our workstations set up with the usual monitors and tangled wires. There isn't any fancy corporate branding on the walls; it’s just a place to work. We don't have a receptionist, usually, someone just looks up from their screen if the door opens. We handle a lot of technical work, mostly just focusing on the software labs and making sure the data is right. It’s a lot of typing and a lot of looking at spreadsheets. When we get a break, we usually just go down to the street to find some snacks or tea. It’s a very typical Mumbai office life, nothing more and nothing less.
