Painter Parth

Painter Parth is based right here in Naranpura. We don't have one of those big fancy offices with a glass front that you see in the newer parts of the city. We just operate out of a simple space tucked into this neighborhood. Naranpura is a busy, crowded part of Ahmedabad, and there are houses and small shops everywhere you look. I’ve lived and worked around here for a long time, so I know these streets and back alleys pretty well. The shop is usually filled with cans of paint, different rolls of tape, and some old drop cloths. It’s not the most organized place in the world, but I know exactly where everything is located. My day usually starts early, loading up the scooter or the old van with whatever is needed for the day's job. I don't really do big meetings or fancy presentations. People usually just call me up on the phone or stop by the shop because they heard from a neighbor that I do decent work. The walls in here are a bit scuffed up from moving ladders and equipment around. It’s a practical workspace, nothing more. Sometimes the neighbors pop in to say hello or ask for a quick favor while they're out getting groceries. It feels like a real community here in Naranpura. I like the fact that I can just walk to most places nearby if I have to. We don't have any staff in uniforms or a receptionist. If you come by, you’ll likely find me covered in a bit of dust or paint.
