Hiral Shah

If you’re driving down L.B.S. Marg in Ghatkopar West, you’ll find us at number 5, Anand Mangal. It’s a well-known spot in this part of Mumbai. Hiral Shah is the name we go by. This area is always buzzing with traffic and people, which I kind of like. It makes you feel like you’re in the middle of everything. We’ve been at this address for a good while. The building isn't the newest, but it’s sturdy and does the job. Inside, it’s pretty basic. We have a few desks and some storage for our papers. We aren't trying to impress anyone with fancy furniture. We just want to get the work done. Living and working in Ghatkopar has its own rhythm. You get used to the sounds of the street. Sometimes it's loud, but you just keep going. We don't spend money on big ads or anything like that. We think if you do a decent job, people will tell their friends. It’s a very local way of doing things. I’ve always preferred a smaller setup where I know exactly what’s happening with every task. It's more manageable that way. Mumbai is a tough city, so you have to be practical. That’s how we run things here. No big promises, just steady work day after day. It’s a small family-style operation and we like it that way. Sometimes we have a quick lunch at the stalls nearby before getting back to the phones and emails.
