Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association

The Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association is up on the 4th floor of PHD House. Being in Hauz Khas, specifically on Khel Gaon Marg, means we are in a pretty central spot in Delhi. The building itself is quite professional-looking, but our actual office feels a bit more lived-in. We have stacks of reports and industry magazines piled up on almost every flat surface. Our work is mostly about bringing people together who make telecom gear. It involves a lot of phone calls and emails to different government offices and companies. We aren't a factory; we are more of a hub for information and talking. The canteen downstairs is where a lot of the real work happens over coffee. You get to meet people from all over the industry there. Sometimes the air conditioning on our floor is a bit temperamental, so we have a few desk fans scattered around to keep us cool during the Delhi summers. We don't have a fancy mission statement or anything. We just try to help the manufacturers navigate the rules and find new ways to work together. It’s a lot of paperwork and technical jargon. We’ve been here for years, and the view of the city from the 4th floor is actually not too bad. It’s a solid, quiet place to get things done without too much distraction from the main road outside the building.
