Anthony Raj A

I’m based at 106 Mahadevapura, on the NDA Road. My place is inside the Balasaheb Dangate Industrial Estate. It is a very busy industrial park with a lot of different small factories and workshops all crammed together. My name is Anthony Raj A and I’ve been working here for a while now. The industrial estate is always full of sounds—metal clanging, engines revving, and people shouting over the noise of the machines. It is not the quietest place to spend a day, but you get used to it after a week or two. At 106, I have my own little corner where I get my work done. It’s mostly manual stuff and organizing supplies. The dust from the road and the nearby shops is something we just live with. We usually have a small tea break in the afternoon with some of the other guys from the estate. It’s a good way to hear what’s going on in the neighborhood. NDA Road can be a nightmare with the trucks, so I usually try to get here early before the worst of the traffic starts. My setup is pretty basic, just some sturdy tables and the tools I need. It’s not about having a fancy office; it’s about getting the jobs finished so I can go home. That is how it goes every day. We don't worry about being polished or looking corporate here.
