Pandit Ratnakarbhat Joshi

Our place is at 140/1 Kodigehalli, right in the MIDC area. Pandit Ratnakarbhat Joshi has been here for a long time now. Being in an industrial zone means there is always a lot of noise and movement outside, but inside our office, it stays relatively calm. It’s a straightforward setup. We don't have any modern decor or expensive furniture. It’s just a place to work. We spend our time dealing with the various requests that come in from people in the community and beyond. It’s work that requires a lot of focus and patience. We don't really do any advertising. Word gets around, and people just show up when they need something. That’s how it’s always been for us. We have our routine. We start early in the morning and work until the day is done. Sometimes we stay late if there’s a lot to finish. The office has a lot of old books and records that have been collected over the years. It feels familiar and comfortable to us. Kodigehalli has changed a lot since we first started, with new buildings going up all the time, but we’ve stayed pretty much the same. We aren't looking to grow into a huge company. We just want to keep doing what we do and be helpful to the people who seek us out. It’s a modest way to live and work, but it’s what we know best. We just keep going day by day.
