Alakh Asthana

Alakh Asthana operates out of a space near the Tata Motors area on Deva Road in Chinhat. Although the address mentions Varanasi 221001, the day-to-day happens around that Lucknow side industrial stretch. It’s a very practical environment, being so close to a major automotive hub. The office is really just a place to handle the administrative side of things. It's surrounded by workshops and heavy vehicles, so the atmosphere is definitely industrious. There’s usually dust from the road and the sound of engines nearby. Inside, we keep it simple. There’s a desk, some chairs, and a lot of logbooks. We don't spend money on decorating or making things look corporate. It’s a functional space for functional work. Most of the people we see are drivers or technicians from the nearby units. We keep a kettle for tea because we drink a lot of it while going through the schedules. The commute out to Deva Road can be long depending on the traffic, so we try to be efficient once we get here. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s steady. We aren't interested in marketing ourselves; we just stay busy with the tasks that come our way. The office is a bit worn around the edges, but it’s where we get things done. It feels right for the type of work we do. If you find yourself out by Tata Motors in Chinhat, you’re in the right neighborhood.
