Graphics International Centre L.L.C., Dubai

Operating from 112, Shivalik Apt in Alaknanda might seem a bit unusual since our name is Graphics International Centre L.L.C., Dubai, but this is where we are based in New Delhi. It's a residential neighborhood in Kalkaji, so it’s a bit quieter than the main markets. The apartment serves as our main workspace where we handle all the design and graphics coordination. We have several computers set up and there’s usually a lot of talk about layouts and file formats. Being in a Shivalik Apartment unit means we don't have a big storefront, but people who need us know where to find us. We deal with a lot of international coordination, especially with the Dubai side of things, so sometimes the hours are a bit odd to match the different time zones. It’s a small team here. We drink a lot of tea while we work on the screens. The Kalkaji area is great because there are plenty of spots nearby to grab a quick snack during a break. We don't have a polished corporate lobby or anything like that. It’s just a practical office filled with hard drives and design proofs. We focus on getting the graphics right and making sure the files are sent off on time. It is a bit of a mix between a homey feel and a serious workspace. We like the balance we have here in this part of Delhi.
