Ashok Kumar Nair

I'm Ashok Kumar Nair. You can find me at 14885 Pitamber Lane, which is right off the Western Express Highway in Pandurang Wadi. We’re pretty close to Raheja Hospital, so that's the easiest way to tell people where to go. Being so close to the highway means it’s always noisy, but I’ve grown to like the sound of the traffic. It makes me feel like I’m in the middle of everything. My office is a small space where I keep all my tools and papers. It’s a bit of a squeeze when more than two people are inside, but we make it work. I started this business a long time ago with very little, and I'm proud of how far it’s come. I don't use big words or try to act like I'm more important than I am. I’m just a guy who knows his trade and works hard every day. Sometimes I’m out on the road visiting sites, and other times I’m stuck here doing the books. It’s a bit of a mix. I don't have a big sign outside, just a small one by the door. Most people hear about me from their friends or family members. That’s how things work best in this neighborhood, through word of mouth. It's a good life and it keeps me busy enough that I don't have time to get bored. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I wasn't here.
