Jagdish Hansraj Kesaria

Being in Matunga at Sahastra Sadan has its own charm. Our place is 33/1 in Pomli Faliya, which is a bit of an older neighborhood. I’ve spent most of my life around these streets, so it made sense to set up here. The building isn’t one of those new glass towers, it has a lot of character and thick walls that keep it relatively cool even in the summer. We handle a variety of things from this office, mostly keeping track of local trade and personal accounts. It’s a small operation, but we stay quite busy with the regulars who have known Jagdish Hansraj Kesaria for years. Matunga is known for its food and its temples, and we are right in the middle of all that. Sometimes the smell of filter coffee from the nearby stalls drifts in through the window. I like the rhythm of this place. We start early and usually wrap things up by early evening. There is no corporate ladder here, just me and a couple of helpers making sure the work gets done correctly. It’s a very grounded way of living and working. You get to know your neighbors and your clients on a first-name basis. That’s how business used to be done in this city, and I think it still works just fine today. It might be a bit cluttered inside, but that’s because we are always busy with something or other.
