Jaiprakash Associates

Our space is over in Noida at C-479 in Sector 49. Noida is a big, sprawling place, but Sector 49 has a bit of everything. We are in a residential-style building, which makes it feel a bit more relaxed than those big glass towers in the industrial sectors. We have a couple of rooms where we keep our equipment and documents. The stairs are a bit narrow, and carrying heavy stuff up can be a chore. We’ve got a small balcony where some of us go to get a bit of air, though the view is just other buildings and some power lines. The traffic in Noida can be a nightmare in the morning, so some of us get here early just to avoid it. We have a routine of starting with some coffee and going through the mail. It is a quiet office for the most part. We don't have a lot of walk-in traffic. Most of our work happens through emails and calls. The furniture is mismatched, some of it we brought from an older office. It’s a functional place. We don't spend money on things that don't help us work. The air conditioner is a bit old and makes a rattling sound, but it keeps the room cold enough. Most days are just about staying focused and getting through the pile of things on our desks. It is a plain, honest workspace.
