Apollo Hospital

Nehru Nagar in Pimpri is a place that never really stops moving, and being part of Apollo Hospital here means we're right in the thick of it. The street outside is usually lined with parked scooters and people rushing to get somewhere. Our building has been standing here for a good bit, and you can see the wear on the steps from all the feet passing over them. Inside, the walls are a plain off-white, and we’ve got some old clocks that don’t always tick at the exact same time. We don’t have a big lobby with fountains or anything, just rows of chairs and a desk where we keep the registers. The staff likes to sit in the small break area during lunch when it’s not too hectic. We talk about our families or the weather in Pimpri while we eat. It’s a practical space. We don’t go in for much decoration besides a few calendars on the walls. The air usually smells a bit like medicine and the tea the guard makes near the entrance. Every afternoon, the sun beats down on the Nehru Nagar pavement, and we’re glad for the shade of the building. It’s a straightforward setup. We handle the paperwork, talk to the people who walk in, and keep the lights on. It’s honest work in a busy neighborhood. Nothing more, nothing less than what you’d expect from a local spot like this. We've been here long enough to see the shops across the street change hands many times.
