Vandoni Spa, Italy

You might see the name Vandoni Spa, Italy and think of somewhere far away, but we are actually located right here in Chennai. Specifically, we are in Mogappair East, at the Golden Fortune Southern Enclave. It is a residential kind of area, and we are in Block C, Flat D-3. It’s a bit of a different setup because it’s an apartment building on Nolambur Main Road. We don't have a big storefront on the street. It’s more of a quiet office where we manage things. The neighborhood is usually busy with people going to work or school. We like being in this part of Chennai because it feels more like a community than a cold business district. Inside the flat, we’ve converted the space to work for us. It has all the usual office things, but it still feels a bit like a home. We handle the Indian side of things for the Italian name. The traffic on Nolambur Main Road can be a nightmare during rush hour, so we try to time our errands around that. It’s a simple operation. We don’t have a lot of staff, just a few people who know what they are doing. We communicate with folks overseas and handle the local bits right from here. It’s not a flashy spa with pools, despite the name. It’s just where the business happens every day. It works for us and our clients.
