Our Vision for the Campus



Our Vision for the Campus

organization with no silos, lots of space to connect andcollaborate, an office that brings the best out of me. Iwant to see a space where I can relax, play a game of

badminton and then go home. “

environment, to put together everybody who works in

India into one single campus that allows people to trulyexcel. “

to make sure that you take pride in this place and

make it inhabitable, liveable and the best place

to work, in all of our region. “

Doing well by doing good.The Green Campus.

Environment sensitivities

Green Building Initiatives



The Green Campus

EarthSolar radiation has been reduced by covering exposed slabs

with greenery. 6,000 sq.mt. of green cover against a statutory

requirement of 2,500 sq.mt. creates a vast green cover.

Air12% saving in energy consumption through well designed systems

and building elements. Air-conditioning systems have a variable air

volume valve that can be adjusted. AHUs have variable

speed options.

Water25% saving in water usage through 100% recycling of treated

effluents, rainwater harvesting and zero wastage of water, through

use of sensors and dual flush systems.

FireOptimization of wall to glass ratio and use of low ‘E’ double glass

unit in the front facade helps in reducing heat load in the building

and lessens energy consumption.



The Campus DNA

Cashew Court: makes for introspection and solitary work,

as well as small group discussions.

The mindsets we need to build

• Learning to be mobile/ share & using new

spaces- accept that work is increasingly

informal

• Trusting that ‘work is where you are’

• Performance assessed on output and

metrics, and not on presence at work- aculture of individual accountability

• Flexibility

• Visible, mobile and accessible leadership

• Working together more - Shift to

collaborating ,collective decision making

• Respect for people and resources
