Bahauddin Deshmukh

This is Bahauddin Deshmukh and I’ve been operating from Kurla West for a good number of years now. My spot is in Kapadia Nagar, at Baitul Aman. Specifically, it is unit number 5. Finding us can be a bit tricky if you aren't familiar with V N Road, but once you’re in the colony, it’s easier to spot. Kurla is a busy place, always moving and always loud, but inside the office, it’s a bit more manageable. I started this because I wanted to do something for myself and the community around here. It’s not a fancy corporate setup with glass walls. We have old desks and chairs that have seen better days, but they work. I handle things as they come. There isn't a big manual for how I run the place; I just use common sense and try to be fair with everyone who walks through the door. Usually, it’s just me and maybe one or two helpers depending on the month. We don't spend money on big ads or anything like that. Word of mouth has always been enough for us. It’s a practical way to live and work. Sometimes the rain makes it hard to get to the office because the roads here can get messy, but we stay open as much as we can. It's just a regular local business in a busy part of Mumbai. We do our work and go home.
