Mckinsey Knowledge Center

Located in the 110009 area of New Delhi, our office is part of a very lively neighborhood. It’s near the university parts of the city, so there are always students and young people walking around. The Mckinsey Knowledge Center here is situated in a building that’s seen plenty of history. Our rooms are filled with the sound of fans whirring and people typing away. It’s a bit cramped, honestly, but we make it work by staying organized in our own way. We have stacks of files that probably should have been put away months ago, but we know where everything is. The lighting isn't the best, especially on cloudy days, but we have enough lamps to keep things bright. We aren't doing anything flashy here. It’s mostly data, research, and reading through documents. We don't wear suits or anything like that. Most of us are in jeans and comfortable shirts. Lunch is usually something we pick up from the local vendors nearby—there are so many good food stalls in this part of Delhi. We spend our breaks talking about the latest cricket match or what’s on the news. It’s an honest place to spend eight or nine hours a day. We’ve grown fond of the quirky bits of the building, like the door that sticks or the window that doesn't quite close all the way. It’s just us doing our thing.
