Sandip Devare Patil

My name is Sandip Devare Patil and I run my business here in Aurangabad HO. It’s a local setup where I handle various tasks for people in the area. People usually just call me by my name when they come by. I have a small office space where I sit and meet with folks. It’s not very large, but it has enough room for a couple of chairs and a desk. I’ve lived in Aurangabad for a long time, so I know a lot about how things work around here. Whether someone needs help with paperwork or some local advice, they often stop by. The atmosphere is very informal. I don't wear a suit or anything like that; I just dress like everyone else. Sometimes the office gets a bit crowded if a few people show up at once, but we manage. I spend quite a bit of time on the phone or out meeting people. There are days when it’s very quiet and I just read the paper, and then other days when I don't even have time for lunch. It’s a one-man show for the most part, though I have a boy who helps with errands. We are located in a part of town that sees a lot of activity. I like being accessible to the community. People know they can find me here during the day. It’s just about providing a bit of help to the locals.
