Icici Securities Ltd

We are operating out of Pune. It is a big city and things move pretty fast here. This office is where we handle the securities and trading side of things for Icici Securities Ltd. It's not always exciting, mostly just watching numbers on a screen and making sure the paperwork is correct. The Pune weather is usually nice, better than Mumbai at least, though it gets quite dry in the summer. We have a lot of computers running all the time, so the room stays a bit warm despite the fans. There’s always a low hum in the air from the machines and the air conditioning units. People come in and out with different questions about their investments or just to drop off some documents. We aren't in a huge skyscraper, just a regular office building with other businesses around us. The lunchroom is where we all gather to eat and complain about the traffic on the way to work. Pune has grown so much lately that the morning commute takes forever now. Sometimes we stay quite late when the markets are doing something strange or unexpected. It’s a lot of sitting and typing, which can be tiring for the eyes. We try to keep the atmosphere light, but it can get serious when things are really busy. There’s a small park nearby where some of us go for a walk after the market closes just to get some air.
