Poonam Tandon

Vinolia Apartment is where we are based. It’s over in Vijayapuri-Tarnaka, Secunderabad. We’re in Flat No 203. It’s a quiet enough building, which is good for getting things done. Poonam Tandon is the name we go by. The flat is basically our office. We have turned the main living area into a workspace. It’s not like those fancy offices you see in movies. We have regular wooden tables and some old metal filing cabinets. It’s practical. We don't have a lot of visitors, so we don't worry too much about having a waiting room. Usually, it’s just the sound of the fridge humming in the kitchen and us working. The balcony looks out over the street, so we can see when the mail comes. Secunderabad has a different feel than Hyderabad, a bit more relaxed. We like that. We don’t have a big corporate structure or any fancy titles. Everyone just does what needs to be done. We’ve been in this flat for a few years now. It’s comfortable. We know the neighbors and the watchman. We don't have any glossy brochures. If you want to know about us, you just ask. We just keep our heads down and handle the daily load. It’s a small, honest setup in a regular apartment building. Nothing more, nothing less. The sunlight comes in nicely during the morning hours, which helps keep the mood up while we sort through our lists. We take our time with things.
