Sakaal Media Group

Our office is in Pune, specifically at Flat No-9 in the Sharda Apartment in Kothrud. Kothrud is a pretty well-known part of the city, and we’ve been tucked away in this apartment for a while. Sakaal Media Group is what we go by. It’s more of a home-turned-office vibe than a corporate skyscraper. We have desks set up in the different rooms, and the kitchen usually has a kettle going for tea. Since we are in the media business, there’s always news happening and people talking over each other. It’s not always the quietest place, but it’s where the work gets done. We don't really do the whole corporate culture thing; we just focus on the stories and the print schedules. Sharda Apartment is a quiet enough building, but our flat can get pretty busy during peak hours. We’ve been part of the Pune scene for a long time, and being in Kothrud feels right. It’s a bit of a mix of old and new around here. We just come in, do our shifts, and head home like everyone else. There’s no big mission statement on the wall, just calendars and clocks to make sure we hit our deadlines. It’s a very local, Pune-style way of running a media house, and we like it that way. It is just how we do things in this apartment here and it seems to work.
