I run my operations out of Khetwadi, specifically at 30/16 Vidyapeeta. It’s a quiet enough street, and being near Om Shakthi Temple means there’s always a bit of a peaceful vibe, except maybe on festival days when the bells are ringing non-stop and the crowds are thick. I’ve been in this space for a long time now. It’s basically just me and a couple of assistants handling the daily tasks. We don’t have a big corporate sign or a lobby with a receptionist. It’s just an old-fashioned office where we get things done. Most of the neighbors know me by now and we say hello in the mornings. I spend a lot of time at my desk looking over files and talking to people who drop by with questions. The building itself is older, which I prefer over these new glass boxes they’re putting up everywhere. It has character and the rent is fair. Sometimes the internet acts up or the power goes out, and we just take a break until it comes back. That’s just part of working in this area. I like being close to the temple because it’s a good landmark for people trying to find the place. Usually, I’m here from mid-morning until late evening, depending on how much paperwork has piled up on my desk. It’s a simple setup, nothing too fancy, just a place to work and meet people who need some help with their stuff. It’s been my routine for years.
