Vivek Lodaya

If you walk down Vasant Wadi Main Road in Khamgaon, you’ll see our place right there. It’s a busy street, especially on market days. Vivek started this a long time ago, and we’ve just stayed in this same spot ever since. The front door stays open most of the day to let some air in, though that means a lot of dust comes in too. We have a couple of old chairs for anyone who needs to sit and wait while we look things up. The shelves are packed pretty tight with files and old records. It isn't the most organized-looking place, but we know where everything is. My desk is right by the window so I can see who’s coming and going. Sometimes the tea seller from down the road stops by. We don't have a big sign, just the name on the wall that's faded a bit over the years. Khamgaon gets really hot in May, so we have a cooler that makes a lot of noise. It’s just a normal day-to-day operation here. We handle the paperwork, talk to the locals, and try to keep things moving. Nothing too complicated. Most people around here know Vivek, so they just walk in without knocking. We like it that way. It feels more like a community spot than a regular business office. We’re just here doing our thing on the main road in the middle of town.
