23 Watts Media Private Limited

You can find 23 Watts Media over in Sarvodya Enclave, at house C-173. It’s a nice enough part of South Delhi, with a bit more green than some of the other spots we’ve worked in before. The street is usually lined with cars, so finding a parking spot if you’re driving is always a bit of a gamble. Most of us just rely on the metro and the walk from the station isn’t too bad except during the monsoon when the puddles get deep. The office itself is spread across a couple of rooms. It’s mostly just us staring at monitors or having quick meetings in the hallway. We don’t have those fancy bean bags or ping pong tables you see in movies about media companies. We just have sturdy chairs and a coffee machine that works about eighty percent of the time. The lighting in the back room is a little dim, but it’s the quietest place to sit when you really need to focus. Sometimes the delivery guys get lost trying to find the gate, so one of us usually has to go out and wave them down. It’s a pretty standard routine here. We start around ten, usually with someone complaining about the traffic, and then we just dive into whatever needs finishing. It’s a South Delhi life, really—busy but familiar. We’ve got the local markets nearby for lunch, which is a big plus when nobody brought a tiffin.
