Mandeep Bhatia

My name is Mandeep Bhatia and I operate out of Number 3, Friends Colony in Phagwara. It’s a nice, quiet spot in Punjab where things don’t move as fast as they do in the big cities like Ludhiana or Delhi. I like the peace here. My address is easy to remember and most people around here know where Friends Colony is. The office is just a room at the front of the property. I’ve got a view of the street so I can see who’s coming and going. I started this quite a few years back without much more than a table and a phone. It has grown a bit since then, but I still keep things very basic. I don’t believe in wasting money on expensive carpets or designer lights. As long as the roof doesn't leak and the lights stay on, I’m happy. Usually, my day involves a lot of phone calls and checking on various bits of work. I take my lunch break at home since it's right there. It’s a comfortable way to live and work. The neighbors are good people and we often share a cup of tea in the evenings. I don’t have any big plans to move to a fancy office block. This place suits me just fine and it’s where I feel most at home. We just keep our heads down and do our daily tasks.
