Getting to Shivalaya Towers in Thakur Complex every morning is just part of the routine for me, Suriyakumar C R. Our space is up on the 18th floor of the Bonanza Industrial Estate, so we spend a fair bit of time waiting for the lifts. It’s an industrial area, which means there is always noise from some machine or people moving crates around in the hallways. It’s not a quiet place for a nap, that’s for sure. I’ve been working from this spot for a while and the view from the window is mostly other tall buildings and the haze of the city. We have a few desks and a lot of files that never seem to get organized properly. It is a bit cramped sometimes when everyone is in at once, but we manage. People around the estate are generally friendly, we all know the security guards and the guy who sells snacks downstairs. It’s the kind of place where you don't wear a suit unless you have to because it gets hot and the work can get a bit messy. We just focus on getting through the tasks we have for the day. Sometimes the power goes out or the internet acts up, but that’s just life in an old industrial block. We don't have a big reception area or anything fancy. If you come by, you’ll probably just see us hunched over our work, trying to get things finished before the evening traffic starts building up outside.
