Collabera

You can find us at A 1 Rachana Apartments, which is tucked away near Deep Chamber in the Manjalpur area of Baroda. It’s a fairly quiet residential neighborhood, so it doesn't really feel like you're going to a corporate office when you come here. We’ve been operating as Collabera from this Gujarat address for some time now. The apartment is on the ground floor, which makes things easy for coming and going. It’s a simple place with a few rooms turned into workspaces. We didn't do much to change the layout, so it still has that homey feel to it. The kitchen is where we usually end up talking about non-work stuff while the kettle boils. Outside, the street is lined with trees and there’s usually some space to park a scooter. We like being in Manjalpur because it’s a bit away from the main city rush but still easy enough for everyone to reach. The building itself is well-kept, even if it’s not brand new. Inside, it’s just us at our desks, surrounded by files and cables. We don't have a big reception desk or anyone waiting to greet you. It’s just a practical space where we focus on our tasks. Sometimes the neighbor’s kids are playing outside, and you can hear them through the windows. It’s a nice, normal way to work.
