Preparations on in full swing to scale
The iRunway office at Geetanjali Paradise is always bubbling with activities. Everyone is running around for one thing or the other. Yes, it is the scaling season.
To begin with, we recently finalized on a 2000 sq ft plus office space at the downtown of Bangalore, in Kormanagala. Interestingly, the color of the building is iRunway yellow, seeming for once that it was actually made keeping us in mind. Finding the right place was not easy. We spent over a month looking for the place. Our key considerations were (i) it should be spacious enough to accommodate 30+ people, (ii) it should be in a posh locality, and (iii) it should be at the heart of the city so that the employees can commute easily
Then we have to furnish the office. Suggestions are pouring in (and welcome) from various quarters. The layout, color scheme, chair design, cubicle design, and wall color everything needs to be figured out.
Finally there is hiring. Efforts are on to identify the set of people that will form the pioneer batch of associates at iRunway. The initial response to our job posting on various email groups of the class of 2007 has been overwhelming. The process is on to shortlist candidates based on their resume. We intend to hold recruitment sessions in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore in the last week of May/first week of June. We also continue to invite resumes of people interested in working with us.
At the back end, there is preparation of the induction program and the training program for the pioneer batch of associates.
Ohhh of course we have lots of client work going on too!!!
All in all, very busy times… but no one is complaining. :-)
