Apurva Nemlekar Event Organiser

At Apurva Nemlekar Event Organiser, we operate from a space in Roopwala Terrace on L J Road. It’s right near Shivaji Park in Mahim, which is a nice area but the parking is a total nightmare. Most of our day is spent calling vendors and checking if the flowers or the sound system will actually arrive on time. You never really know until they show up. The office at 18/192 is where all the folders and contracts live, though it feels like I’m rarely just sitting at the desk. I’m usually out meeting people or checking on venues. Organizing events is basically just solving one problem after another until the party is over. Sometimes a light bulb blows or a guest list gets lost, and you just have to figure it out on the fly. It’s not all glamorous like people think. There is a lot of sweeping up and carrying boxes involved. My team is small and we’ve worked together for a bit, so we know how to stay out of each other's way. We drink a lot of coffee to stay awake during the late-night setups. It’s a bit chaotic, but when everything is finally in place, it’s okay for a minute before we have to tear it all down again. The neighborhood is lively, which helps when we need a break. We usually grab a vada pav from the stall down the street when things get too busy.
