Consultant

I work out of my place in the Pushkaraj Housing Society, which is 1822/53 in Subhash Nagar. It’s right here in Chembur, Mumbai. Being a consultant from home means my office is basically a room filled with books and my computer. Subhash Nagar is a decent area, quite busy but friendly. The housing society is one of those typical Mumbai spots where everyone knows what everyone else is doing. I’ve been doing this for a long time now. I don’t have a big staff or a fancy office in a glass building. It’s just me and sometimes a part-time helper. I spend a lot of my time on the phone or writing reports. The room gets a bit hot in the afternoons, but I have a good fan that keeps things moving. Sometimes the neighbors are a bit loud, but that’s just life in a Mumbai society. I like being in Chembur because it’s well-connected. I can get to the city or the suburbs easily if I need to meet someone. Most of the time, though, people just come here or we talk online. It’s a very low-key operation. I don’t believe in overcomplicating things. I just take on the projects I can handle and try to give honest advice. It’s a one-man show mostly, and I’m fine with that. It keeps things simple and manageable for everyone involved.
