Vinay Bhat

I’m Vinay Bhat and I’ve been at 30/1 on 6th A Main Road for quite some time now. This is Shrikanteshwarnagar in Bangalore - 560 096. It’s a bit of a mouthful to say, but it’s a nice enough area. I’ve got a small setup here. It’s not one of those glass-and-steel offices you see in the other parts of the city. It’s just a ground-floor space that I’ve turned into my workplace. I do most of the work myself. I don't really like managing a big team; it just adds more stress. I prefer to know exactly what’s going on with every single task. I’ve lived in Bangalore long enough to remember when there were more trees and fewer cars. Shrikanteshwarnagar still has a bit of that old residential feel. My day usually starts early before the traffic gets too loud. I sit at my desk, go through my messages, and start ticking things off the list. I don’t use any fancy project management tools. Just a notebook and a pen. It’s been working for me for years, so I don't see a reason to change it now. It’s a modest way to run things, but I’m my own boss and I like the independence. People know where to find me if they need me. I keep a stack of old newspapers in the corner for no real reason. It just feels like a real office that way. Sometimes the birds outside get quite loud.
