Birla Institute Of Technology

The office is over here in Birendra Sudha Apartment, specifically Flat D 4. We’ve been in Ranchi for a while now, right in the Burdwan Compound area. It gets pretty busy around Lalpur, especially with people coming and going all day. Inside, it’s mostly just desks, a few computers, and a lot of books and papers piled up. We spend most of our time helping people who walk in with questions about the institute. It isn't a huge fancy corporate building, just a regular flat where we get the work done. Sometimes the electricity goes off and we just wait it out or use the backup generator. We have a small tea kettle in the corner for when it gets quiet in the afternoons. Most of us living or working nearby know the landmarks around here well. It’s a practical space. We don’t have much in the way of decorations, just the essentials like some chairs for visitors and cupboards for all the files we have to keep. Being in Ranchi, you get used to the pace of things. We just try to handle the daily tasks as they come, whether it's answering the phone or sorting through applications. It feels like a local hub more than anything else. We've seen the neighborhood change a bit over the years, but the apartment stays the same. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we are too busy to worry about that.
