Asha Enterprise

Our workshop is at A-9B inside the Pravasi Industrial Estate. This is just off Aarey Road in Goregaon East. If you know this part of Mumbai, you know how packed it can get, especially during the monsoon season. We have been operating out of this small unit for a long time. It’s a practical space where we handle all our enterprise activities. There’s no big sign or flashing lights outside. We just have our name on the door like everyone else in the estate. Inside, we have our equipment and a small area for storage. The noise from the street is always there, but we’ve gotten used to it. We spend our days coordinating with suppliers and making sure our deliveries are ready for the morning. It’s a lot of manual work and keeping track of various items. Most of the people working here have been with us for years, so we all know what needs to be done without much talking. We drink our tea together in the afternoon when things slow down for a bit. Goregaon has changed so much with all the new buildings, but the Pravasi Industrial Estate still feels like the old days. It’s a tight space but it works for what we do. We don’t spend money on fancy things, we just put it back into the business so we can keep going.
