Vice Chancellordefence Institute Of Advanced Technology

This office is located at Flat No. 6 in the Ganesh Vihar B Housing Society right on Bibwewadi Main Road in Pune. It’s a bit of a specific spot because we are tucked away near the Canara Bank. Being part of the Vice Chancellordefence Institute Of Advanced Technology means there is always some kind of discussion or research going on, but the day-to-day is actually quite ordinary. We deal with a lot of correspondence and administrative tasks that keep the institute moving forward. The traffic on the main road outside is almost always heavy, so we hear the honking and the buses going by all day. Inside the flat, it’s mostly quiet except for the sound of typing or someone on the phone. We’ve been here in Maharashtra for quite a while now and the neighbors in the housing society are used to seeing us coming and going with our bags of papers. We don't have a big fancy lobby with fountains or anything. It’s just a practical space where the work gets done and the decisions are made. Sometimes we have tea breaks out on the balcony when the weather is nice. We focus on the tasks at hand and try to stay organized even when the files start piling up on the desks. It’s a steady rhythm of work that doesn't change much from one week to the next. We just handle the administrative side of things as best as we can.
