Ekco

Ekco is located over at Erandwane Swargate, specifically at 124/12/B. Swargate is a huge hub in Pune, so it’s always crowded and there is a lot of noise from the buses and the traffic. Our spot is tucked away just enough so we can actually get things done, but you still feel the pulse of the city right outside the door. The building we are in is quite plain. We haven't spent much time on making it look pretty because we are usually too busy with our actual work and daily tasks. There are a few small eateries nearby where we go for poha or chai in the mornings. It’s a very local experience for everyone on the staff. The room we work in has decent light, but it gets a bit warm in the summer months. We have a few fans going to keep us cool. It isn't a polished corporate suite with air conditioning that freezes you out all day. It feels like a real place where people put in hard work and get things finished. Most of our day is spent at our desks, talking to each other and solving whatever comes up. We aren't big on formal meetings or fancy presentations. We just sit down and talk things through. Being in Erandwane gives us easy access to the rest of Pune, even if the Swargate traffic can be a nightmare sometimes. We’ve just accepted the chaos as part of our routine.
