Ajit Pathare

This place in Jogeshwari East has been where I spend most of my days. It’s located in Sector 16, specifically at B/6, which is easy enough to find once you get into the internal lanes. The neighborhood is always moving, and there’s a certain rhythm to the traffic and the people walking by. I don’t have a big fancy office with glass walls or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where I get my work done and handle whatever comes up during the week. Sometimes the power goes out or the rain makes it hard to get to the door, but that’s just how things are around here. I’ve lived in this part of Mumbai for a long time, so I’m used to the noise and the way things work. My name is Ajit Pathare and this is just my base of operations. People stop by sometimes to ask questions or just to see if I’m in. It’s not a corporate headquarters, just a room with some files and a desk where the real work happens. Most of the neighbors know me by now. I try to keep things simple and not overcomplicate what I’m doing. It gets dusty being so close to the main roads, but you just clean it up and keep going. That’s pretty much the whole story of this spot in Sector 16. It is not much, but it is enough for me.
