Harshad Gokani

I’m Harshad Gokani and I run my things out of a room in Goregaon East. It’s Room 606 on the sixth floor of Unit 29 in Mayur Nagar. If you know Mumbai, you know that getting to the sixth floor can be a bit of a challenge if the lift is acting up, which happens once in a while. The office isn't very large. It’s basically just enough space for me to keep my files and a place for a couple of people to sit. Mayur Nagar is a busy area, like most of Mumbai, so there is always a lot of movement outside. I’ve been here for a while and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I spend most of my day looking at papers or talking on the phone. It’s a one-man show for the most part, though I have some help now and then. I don’t go in for fancy branding or anything like that. People find me because they need something specific done and they know I’m here. Sometimes I stay late because the traffic outside is so bad that there is no point in trying to leave until after eight. It’s just how life is in this city. You find a small corner, you set up your desk, and you do your work.
