This is our place in Kothrud, specifically at C 1 32 in Mahavir Nagar. We are right by the Hirawadi Cross Road. It's a quiet enough area most days, though it can get a bit crowded when people are coming home from work. The office is basically just a room where we keep all our records and handle our daily business. It’s not a fancy corporate suite. We have a couple of chairs for visitors and a big wooden desk that takes up most of the space. There are always some books and folders lying around because we have a lot to keep track of. We’ve been working from this location for a good while. People from the neighborhood know us and sometimes just pop their heads in to say hello. We don't really have a big sign or anything, just the address. We handle a lot of different things throughout the day, so the phone is usually ringing. Sometimes we have to go out to meet people, so the office might be locked for an hour or two in the middle of the day. We try to keep things simple here. No big speeches or complicated processes. We just look at what needs to be done and we do it. It’s a humble setup, but it works for what we need. The fan keeps the air moving and we have a small window that lets in some light.
