There’s a balance between fun & work at WalmartLabs

If there’s one pervading culture that exists at WalmartLabs India office in Bengaluru, it’s the open door one, where associates are encouraged to interact with their peers and managers. Apart from cubicle seats, the 2.41 lakh sq feet office has huddle spaces and flexible seating to facilitate a stimulating flow of ideas. Game zones and pantries help strike the balance between work and fun, but sustainability is a key priority, so the 1,200 employees are encouraged to keep their carbon footprint at a minimum.


The work cube: “The standing desk at my work cube allows me to work while also connecting me visibly and easily with my team members. This spurs collaboration and team spirit.” — Shrinivas G N, Senior Director


Meeting point: “Every collaboration area has a unique character. These areas also double up as meeting areas where we have presentations.” — Pallavi Katti, EA to Vice President


Brainstorming is fun: “Human technology at its best... The room can help shift gears between project meetings, talks, brainstorming and fun.” — Gaurav Kamdar, Manager – Enterprise Project Management


Cool quotient: “My design team and I sit in a place where our cubes are interspersed with break-out areas and writing walls which help us to have fun and then get back to focussed work. The colourful lamps add to the cool quotient of our work place.” — Ramesh Kozhissery, Senior Manager-User Experience
