Out of the 1+ billion population of India, tens of millions of people work at Indian companies like Infosys, TCS and also the Godrejs and the Hindustan Levers.

So, we collected some broad trends, and compiled a (fun!) list of signs you work at an Indian company.
1. The technology in use could possibly pre-date the internet.
2. At any time of the day, the office is a cacophony of sounds in regional languages

6. The amount of paperwork in use could put your Kabaadi to shame
7. Indian festivals are celebrated with great aplomb
8. You take healthy breaks while working at an indian company
