Anu Barua Alka Consultancy Services

Our office is located over in Chittaranjan Park, at I 1737. It’s a nice part of Delhi to be in, honestly. It feels a lot more like a neighborhood than a business district, which makes the morning walk to the office a bit more pleasant. We’ve set up our consultancy services in a space that used to be a regular residence, so it has that lived-in feel to it. There are bookshelves lining the walls and a big table where we do most of our brainstorming and client meetings. It’s not very formal here. We usually have tea or coffee going and there’s always someone coming in or out. We handle all sorts of consultancy tasks, and our desks are often covered in folders and notebooks. The lighting isn't the best in the afternoon, but we have a few lamps to help out. We’ve been in this spot for a while and the neighbors all know who we are. It’s quiet enough that you can actually hear yourself think, which is rare in this city. Sometimes we sit out on the small balcony when the weather is decent. We don’t have any big signs or fancy branding. It’s just a place where we work hard and try to help people out with their questions. It feels like a real home for the business. We are just a few people here working through our daily lists. We don't have big goals of expanding into a huge corporation; we just like what we do here in this corner of the city.
