Amit Harjai

I’m based over in Andheri West, right on Sahar Road at D 557. It is a very active part of Mumbai to be in. There is always a lot of noise from the street and people walking by at all hours. My work space is simple and functional. I don't see the point in having a flashy office when the real work happens on the phone or out at meetings. I’ve been in this spot for several years now. It’s a good location because it’s easy for people to get to, though parking can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes. I handle a variety of professional services and I’ve built up a decent list of regulars. I don't have a big staff, just myself and someone to help with the admin stuff. We try to keep things moving along smoothly. Sometimes the pace of Andheri is a bit much, but you get used to it after a while. My desk is usually a bit of a mess with files and half-empty tea cups, but I know where everything is. I don't use any complicated business jargon. I just talk to people like they are my neighbors because that’s often what they are. It’s a small operation but I take it seriously. I like the independence of running my own thing here on Sahar Road. It’s not perfect, but it works for me and the people I work with every single day.
