Nilesh N Pendem

My name is Nilesh and I run things from Kharas Building, room 25. We are right at Dhan Mill Naka on N.M. Joshi Marg. If you’ve been to Mumbai-13, you know this part of town has a specific feel to it. It’s crowded and the traffic outside never really stops, but that is just part of being here. The building itself has been around for a long time. It’s got that old Mumbai character that you don’t see in the new high-rises. I started out here a while back because I wanted a spot that was central and easy for people to reach. Most of my day is spent right here at the desk or dealing with whoever drops in. It’s a small space, nothing too elaborate, just the essentials for the work. I don't go in for big advertisements or anything. I usually find that people just hear about me from someone else in the neighborhood. N.M. Joshi Marg is always moving, and being at Dhan Mill Naka keeps me right in the middle of it all. Sometimes the monsoon makes the commute a bit of a mess, but we manage. I like the routine of coming in, seeing the familiar faces nearby, and just keeping the business going. It’s not a corporate setup, just me doing what I know how to do in a place that feels like home.
