Omkar Mohanty

My name is Omkar Mohanty. I'm operating out of Jaydev Vihar in Bhubaneswar. The address is actually my family place, specifically Qrs No D/38 in Block 7. It's a government quarters area, so it's very green and has a lot of big trees around the buildings. My father, Debadatta Mohanty, is well known around this neighborhood. I decided to start my own thing from the house because it's convenient and saves on the high cost of rent. Bhubaneswar is a growing city, but Jaydev Vihar still has that calm feel to it. I spend most of my day at the desk in the back room. It’s a quiet space where I can focus on the tasks at hand. I don't have a big storefront or any bright signs. Most of my work comes through word of mouth or people I’ve known for many years. I like it this way. It’s honest work. Sometimes the neighbors come by for a chat, and that’s fine. I keep my hours pretty flexible. If I'm home, I'm usually working on something. There’s no fancy furniture, just the essentials like a computer, a chair, and a printer. Living and working in the same place has its ups and downs, but it works for me right now. I’ve lived in Odisha my whole life. The block is old but well-maintained by the authorities. I don’t see the need for a big office in a mall. This feels more real. I just handle the tasks as they come in and try to stay organized.
