This seems odd. My experience visiting India was of software parks that are 24h operations. Perhaps this was in the Mumbai sticks. The 50 phone lines and people coming to work in a bungalow not being a giveaway, perhaps something alongside the breakfast order was.
The article says “Virar”, which is just outside of Bombay, reachable easily via the “local train.” We used to go there for picnics and team retreats.
