Tata Consultancy Services

Our Mumbai office is tucked away in the Mahatma Gandhi Smurti Vasahat on Jerbai Wadia Road. It’s right there in Parel, which means it’s always busy outside. We are at E/40, and it’s a typical local spot. The space is small, but we’ve managed to fit everything we need inside. You can hear the trains from the station if the wind is blowing the right way. It’s an old colony feel, and we’ve been here for a good while. The floor is that old-fashioned tile that stays cold under your feet. We don’t have a lot of fancy furniture, just some sturdy tables and chairs that get the job done. In the monsoon, we have to keep the windows shut tight so the rain doesn't get on the electronics. The air gets a bit stuffy, but the ceiling fan keeps things moving. We usually grab lunch from one of the nearby stalls or bring a dabba from home. There isn't a lot of room for walking around, so we mostly stay at our desks. It’s a focused environment, even with the shouting from the street sometimes. We like being in Parel because everything is close by. It’s an honest place to work, nothing more and nothing less. We just keep our heads down and finish what we started.
