Cadence Design Systems

Cadence Design Systems is on the third floor of 111C in Gautam Nagar. It’s a typical New Delhi neighborhood with narrow stairs and lots of activity. Being on the 3rd floor means we get a bit of a workout every time we go out for tea. The office isn't anything special to look at. We have a few desks, some old chairs, and a lot of cords running across the floor. We try to keep it organized, but it’s a losing battle most weeks. We’ve been in this spot for a while now. It’s close to everything we need, so we stay put. We don’t really do big meetings or have a receptionist. If someone knocks, one of us just gets up and opens the door. It’s a very informal way of running things, but it works for us. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a fancy lobby. We’d rather just focus on the work itself. Gautam Nagar can be a bit loud during the day, but we’ve gotten used to the noise. It’s just part of the background now. We don't have any brochures or polished speeches. We just tell people where we are and what we’re doing at the moment. It’s an honest way to spend the day. We’re just a small group trying to make a living in the city and keeping things as straightforward as we can.
