Debasish Rath

I have been operating from this house in Tulasi Nagar - 2 for quite some time now. This place actually belongs to Chintamani Rath, my father, so it is a family home first and an office second. Berhampur is a busy town, but our specific lane is usually quiet enough to get things done without too much noise from the main road. The room I work from is just a simple setup with a desk, some old files, and a chair that has seen better days. It is not a fancy corporate space with glass walls or anything like that. I usually start my day around ten after finishing tea and looking at whatever paperwork came in the day before. In Orissa, it gets really hot in the summer, so the ceiling fan is always going at full speed. Sometimes neighbors drop by just to say hello or ask about something small, which is just how things go around here. We don't have a big team or anything, just me and a couple of people who help out when the work gets heavy. We have lived in this part of town for a long time, so most people know where the house is located. It is a practical arrangement that works for us. I don't feel the need for a big office in a commercial building when this space in Tulasi Nagar serves all our needs just fine. It is just honest work done from a local home.
