Alstom India

We are based in a DDA flat at C 41 Katawariasarai in New Delhi. It is definitely not your typical corporate office. It is a residential flat that we have turned into a workspace. It gets pretty crowded because we have a lot of files and equipment squeezed into the rooms. Katawariasarai is a very busy neighborhood, especially because it's so close to the big universities. There are always people walking around and the street food stalls outside are always busy. We handle various parts of the India operations from here. It is mostly administrative stuff and some coordination. The air conditioner is a bit old and makes a lot of noise, but it keeps us cool enough in the Delhi heat. We don't have a boardroom or anything like that. We just sit around the dining table when we need to have a meeting. It’s a very informal environment. We know each other well because we are working in such a small space. We don't have a big sign outside, just a small plate near the door. It’s a practical way to run things without spending too much on a fancy building in the city center. We just focus on the tasks we have for the day and try to get through the traffic on the way home. It’s a long commute for most of us, but we make it work somehow. That is us.
