Daksha Shetty

This is where I work, at Vasant Villa in Ghatkopar West. Daksha Shetty is the name I go by for all my business. I'm on the ground floor of the B Wing, which is part of the Thakore Estate. It’s a nice enough area. You have to go past the main office to find our block. Being on the ground floor is handy because I don't have to deal with the elevators, which can be slow in these older buildings. I’ve lived and worked around Ghatkopar for a long time. It’s a community where people actually talk to each other. My workspace is pretty simple. I have a desk, a few cupboards for files, and some chairs for when people visit. It’s not a polished corporate environment. It feels more like a home office, which I prefer. I handle things as they come. There’s no big strategy or five-year plan. I just do the work that needs doing today and then worry about tomorrow when it gets here. The estate is usually busy with people moving around, but my corner stays relatively quiet most of the time. I like the balance of being in the middle of everything but having a little bit of peace in my own wing. It’s just me doing my thing. Sometimes the neighborhood kids play outside, and it gets a bit noisy, but I don't mind. It's just a regular life here at number 19.
