Mumbai Samachar Awaaz

Mumbai Samachar Awaaz is located in a pretty unique spot. We are at Room No 277 in Ganpati Chawl Soci, which is on Netaji Marg. Even though the name says Mumbai, this specific branch or connection is tied to the Dharavi and Ahmedabad area context. It’s a real grassroots kind of place. If you’ve ever been to a chawl, you know it’s tight-knit and always full of life. There are kids playing outside and neighbors chatting across the hallways. We work out of this small room where we keep our records and do our writing. It’s definitely not a polished newsroom with bright lights. It’s more about the voices of the people around here. We try to keep our ears to the ground. Sometimes it gets a bit loud with everyone living so close together, but that’s the spirit of the place. We don’t have much in the way of fancy furniture, just some sturdy chairs and a few old desks. It’s a practical space for practical work. People know they can just knock on the door if they have something to say or a story to share. We’ve been part of this community for a while, and we don’t plan on changing how we do things. It’s about being real and being present right here on Netaji Marg in the middle of everything, day in and day out.
