Kashmira Gawade

I run things from building number three in the Trilok complex, specifically room 203/C. It’s tucked away in Padma Nagar, over in the Chikuwadi area of Borivali West. The Shimpoli Link Road is usually where most people turn off to find us. It is a decent neighborhood with a lot of families and small shops around. My office is just a regular room that I’ve set up to handle my business. I don't have a staff of twenty people or a big corporate budget. It is mostly just me and occasionally a helper if things get really backed up during the busy season. I like being in this part of Mumbai because it feels a bit more relaxed than the city center. The building is older, so the walls have some marks and the floor is a bit worn in places, but it works fine for me. I spend a lot of time sorting through papers and taking calls. I don’t use any fancy software to track things, just my notebooks and a laptop. People usually find me because they live in the area or someone told them I was here. I try to be fair and just get the work done right so people come back when they need something. It is a small operation, but I take it seriously. There is a tea stall around the corner that I visit twice a day. It is a simple life and a simple way to work without any corporate stress.
