India Infoline Securities Ltd

If you head down Masjid Street and find Sawal House, we are up on the third floor in Room No. 3. This part of Mumbai is always crowded and the streets are narrow, but it is where all the action is. Being a securities firm, we spend our time looking at markets and numbers. It can be quite stressful when things are moving fast. You can hear the sounds of the street even from the third floor—vendors shouting and motorcycles zooming by. It is a very old-school Mumbai vibe. Our office is practical. We have our computers and our desks, and not much else. People come in to talk about their investments or to figure out what to do with their shares. We are not the type to wear fancy suits every day unless we have a big meeting. Mostly, we are just guys who understand how the market works and we try to explain it to others without using too many big words. It is a lot of data entry and staying updated with the news. Sometimes the power flickers or the internet gets slow, but that is just life in this part of town. We have been in this building for a long time. Everyone knows everyone else in the hallway. It is a tight-knit community of workers and traders. We do our best to keep things accurate because people’s savings are involved. It is a heavy responsibility, but we have gotten used to the rhythm of it over the years.
