Copal Partners

The office here at B 104 in Prashant Vihar is where we spend most of our time. It’s located in Sector 14 Ext in Rohini, which is a busy part of New Delhi. If you’ve ever been to this side of town, you know how the streets can get packed during the day. We are tucked away in a building that looks like many others around here. Inside, Copal Partners is basically just a group of us sitting around desks, handling whatever comes our way. There’s a small kitchen area where we keep the kettle, and the fridge is usually full of half-eaten lunches. We don’t have fancy paintings on the walls or a sleek lobby. It’s mostly just shelves full of folders and some old calendars that we forgot to take down. The lighting is okay, though one of the bulbs flickers sometimes if the weather is bad. We’ve grown used to the sounds of the neighborhood, like the kids playing outside or the vendors calling out. It’s a practical space. We don't spend money on expensive furniture because we’d rather just focus on getting the tasks finished. Sometimes the internet acts up, and we all just take a collective breath while waiting for it to reconnect. It’s not a corporate showroom, just a place where work actually happens. We like being in Rohini because it’s convenient for everyone who works here and it feels like a real neighborhood.
