Gaurav Gupta Studio

Up on the second floor of Dlf Emporio, things are a bit different than the street level. We are at Shop Number 339, right in the Vasant Kunj area. Working inside a mall means we don't see much of the sun during the day, but the air conditioning is a decent trade-off. Gaurav Gupta Studio is where we keep our operations running. It’s a quiet space most of the time, away from the main food court noise. We arrive in the morning when the mall is just waking up and the cleaners are still finishing their rounds. There's a certain routine to being in a place like Vasant Kunj. You see the same security guards and the same mall staff every day. Our shop isn't overflowing with stuff, just what we need to function. The lighting is a bit bright, but it helps when we’re looking at details. We aren't trying to be something we aren't; we're just here to work. Sometimes the mall music gets a bit repetitive after the eighth hour, but we tune it out. We have a small coffee machine in the back that we use way too often. Sometimes the mall feels a bit empty on Tuesdays, but by the weekend, it’s a whole different story. We just keep our heads down and handle whatever comes our way. It's a steady environment, and the floors are always polished, which is a nice change from the outside streets.
