Senthilkumarsethu

My name is Senthilkumarsethu and I operate out of Royapettah in Chennai. If you know Chennai, you know Royapettah is one of those places that still has a bit of the old city charm left in it. The streets are narrow and the buildings are close together. I have a small setup here where I spend most of my day. It’s not a corporate office by any means. It’s just a room with a fan that works most of the time and enough light to see what I’m doing. The 600014 zip code is a busy one. There is always the sound of horns and people shouting outside, but it becomes like background music after a while. I started doing this work because I wanted to be my own boss, even if it meant working longer hours than a regular job. I don't have a big marketing team or a fancy logo. My name is on the door and that’s about it. People come to me because they know I’m around and I don't disappear when things get difficult. I try to keep my overhead low so I don't have to charge people a fortune. It’s just me, my tools, and a lot of patience. Sometimes I take a break and go get a tea from the stall at the corner. That’s my daily routine and I have grown to really like it.
