Aliahmed

Finding us can be a little tricky if you aren't used to the layout of Zakir Nagar. We are in the AB Complex, which is at 179-G1, specifically down Lane Number 8. It’s in the Okhla area of New Delhi. The lane is quite narrow, so if you’re driving, you have to be careful not to get stuck behind a rickshaw. Aliahmed is the name we go by here. The complex itself has a lot of different people doing different things, so there’s always something happening in the hallway. Our office is just a simple room with the basic things we need to function. We have a few desks, some old cupboards for storage, and a lot of cables running along the floor. It’s not the most beautiful office in Delhi, but it’s where we get most of the work done. We spend a lot of time on the phone or working through stacks of paper that seem to never get smaller. The neighborhood is very lively, especially during the festivals, which can make working a bit of a challenge with all the celebrations going on. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone to write fancy letters for us. We just handle the business ourselves. It’s a bit messy and a bit loud, but it is our space and we’ve made it work for a long time now. We just take things one day at a time here in Okhla.
