Ca Swati Atolia

You can find me, Ca Swati Atolia, over at 93 Jhalanion Ka Rasta, which is right in the Kishanpole Bazar area of Jaipur. It is a very old and busy part of the city, and my office reflects that. It is a small space, tucked away from the main noise of the market, but still right in the middle of everything. I spend most of my time dealing with tax returns and auditing for various clients. It’s a lot of back-and-forth with different departments and making sure every document is in its proper place. I don’t use a lot of fancy software unless I really have to; I still like the feel of paper and a good pen. The atmosphere in Kishanpole Bazar is unique. You have the smell of the street food and the sound of the rickshaws right outside. Inside, I just try to keep a calm environment where I can think clearly. My clients are mostly local shopkeepers and families who have been in this area for generations. They don't want a big corporate talk; they just want their accounts to be correct. I appreciate the trust they put in me. Sometimes the work is tedious, especially during the peak tax season, but I just put my head down and get through it. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and I’m glad to be doing it here.
