Balakrishna Thati

I am Balakrishna Thati and I operate out of Abids. This is one of the oldest and most famous parts of Hyderabad, and the 500001 pincode tells you that. My place is located right opposite the Surya Theatre lane. If you know Abids, you know how packed the streets can get with shoppers and traffic. It’s a very lively place to be. I’ve been in this area for a long time, and I’ve seen businesses come and go, but the vibe of the Surya Theatre lane stays pretty much the same. My setup is simple. I don't have a big fancy office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a regular space where I can handle my daily business. Being in the heart of the city means everything is close by, from the big markets to the small tea stalls. I like the history of this neighborhood. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy with all the honking and people, but you get used to it after a few years. I don't really go for all the modern marketing stuff. I just stay at my spot and do what I need to do. People who need to find me usually know the landmark. It is a very human way of doing things, just being present in the community and being known by the local shopkeepers around Abids.
