Vishal Dhanawade

I’m Vishal Dhanawade and this is my place in Halondi. We are near the Holandi Khrichan Charch in the Wardhmaan Nagar area. It’s a bit out of the main city of Kolhapur, in the Hatkanangle taluka. The air is a bit fresher out here than in the middle of town. We are in a small building that my family has owned for a while. It’s not a big fancy office like you see in the movies. We have a few desks, some old chairs, and a lot of equipment for our daily work. Most people find us because they know the church nearby. It’s a good landmark. We don't do any big promotions or have a marketing team. It’s just us doing what we’ve always done. The neighbors are friendly and we often stop to talk to them on the way in. Sometimes cows walk past the front door, which is just how it is in this part of Maharashtra. We work long hours, usually starting when the sun comes up. It can be a bit dusty when the wind picks up, but we just sweep it out and keep going. We don’t have any fancy mission statements or anything like that. We just provide what people need and try to be honest about it. It’s a simple, hardworking life here in Halondi. We aren't flashy, just real people doing a job.
