Kunal Mahesh Thakkar

I'm Kunal Mahesh Thakkar and I run things over here at Shiv Ashis in Mulund West. It's on the fifth floor, room 502 to be exact. I’ve been in this spot for a good while now. Most people around Pantnagar know where to find me. It isn't a fancy setup or anything, just a regular place where work gets done every day. I started this because I wanted to stay close to home and handle things my way without a boss breathing down my neck. Sometimes the elevator acts up, but that’s just life in an older building. I spend most of my mornings checking through papers and making sure everything is lined up right. It gets busy, especially when the phones start ringing around noon. I don't really have a big team or anything, just me and a couple of others helping out when things get heavy. We keep it simple. If you walk past Shiv Ashis, you’ll probably see me coming or going. The neighborhood has changed a lot since I first moved into this office, but we're still here doing what we do. It’s not about being the biggest, just about showing up and getting the job finished. I like the routine of it all. The tea stall downstairs makes a decent cup, so that helps on the long days. I usually head home once the sun goes down and the traffic settles. That's pretty much the story of this place.
