Out here at A 11 in the Krishnappa Industrial area, things are always moving. Atladara is a part of town that feels like it never really stops, especially with all the small shops and units around us. Our place is tucked into the estate, and if you aren't looking closely, you might miss the turn for block A. It’s an industrial vibe, so there’s always the sound of someone loading something or a machine running somewhere nearby. I like it though. It’s practical. The walls in the office could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re too busy working to worry about how the walls look. We’ve got a lot of stuff stored in the back and it keeps us on our toes. Sometimes the dust from the road gets inside, so we spend a lot of time just wiping things down. It’s not a showroom or anything like that. It’s a place where we get things done. Most of the guys around here have been in the estate for years, so we all know each other’s faces. The tea stall around the corner is where we usually end up talking. It’s just a normal day-to-day life running things from this unit. We don’t have any fancy corporate stuff going on, just a lot of lists and checking on things as they come in. It’s the kind of environment where you don't mind getting your hands a little dirty to get the job finished.
