If you look for us in Munirka, we are at House Number BE-9-B in Phase II. New Delhi-110067 is the code. This area has very narrow streets so you have to walk a bit from the main road. The house is tucked away and it’s quite old. We have been here for a while now. Inside, it’s mostly just desks pushed against the walls to make space. We have a small area for guests but mostly we are just working. It gets a bit loud when the neighbors are out in the alley. The air is always a bit humid in this part of town. We have one big window that stays closed to keep the dust out. Most of our day is spent coordinating things and writing notes. We don't have a fancy lobby or a receptionist. If the bell rings, one of us just gets up to see who it is. We drink a lot of water because it gets stuffy. There are folders stacked up in the corner because we haven't found a better place for them yet. It is a simple place to run things from. We know the local shops and where to get the best snacks for the afternoon break. It's not a big corporate building, just a house where we do our daily work. We like the local feel of Munirka, even with the crowded lanes and the constant noise of the city. We have a small clock that ticks quite loudly in the silence.
