Devang R Shah

I work out of the Haveli Building in Masjid Bunder West. It’s an old building on the 4th floor, and you can find me there most days. The area is famous for being incredibly crowded, with handcarts and people everywhere. Being on the 4th floor means I get a bit of a break from the street level noise, though you can still hear the whistles and shouts from the market below. The office is small and filled with files that have been collected over the years. My name, Devang R Shah, is on a small plate by the door. I don't have a big team, usually it’s just me or maybe one person helping out. The lift in this building is quite old and sometimes it is faster to just walk up the stairs, even if it leaves you a bit out of breath. I spend a lot of my time on the phone or writing out notes. The windows look out over the rooftops of other old buildings in Masjid Bunder. It is a very traditional way of working. I’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the decades, but the busy energy stays the same. I don't really have a website or anything like that; people usually just call or drop by when they are in the market area. It is a simple life and a simple office.
