Gowri Shivakumar B

This is where Gowri Shivakumar B operates, over in Rabrindranath Tagore Nagar. To be more specific, it’s in the Vasanthappa Block. It’s a residential-feeling area but there are a lot of small businesses scattered around. We have a modest space here. It’s not a place with shiny glass walls or anything like that. It’s more of a practical working environment. We have a few desks and a lot of files. The Vasanthappa Block is a nice place to be because it feels a bit more like a neighborhood than a commercial hub. You see the same faces every morning. The milk delivery, the people walking to the park, and the kids going to school. We start our day early, usually around nine. We have a small stove in the back to make tea because we drink a lot of it while we work. The name on the gate is clear enough so people don't usually wander into the wrong house. It’s a quiet spot most of the time, which is good for focusing on the work. We don't really do any fancy marketing or have big meetings. It’s just about getting the daily chores done and making sure everything is in order. Sometimes we have to go out for meetings, but mostly we are right here in RT Nagar. It’s a comfortable place to work and we’ve been here long enough that the postman doesn't even have to look at the address anymore.
