Notworking

Setting up in Matunga was a choice I made because I like the energy of Mumbai. Our address is G 9 3, which is right in the thick of things. The name of the business is Notworking, which sometimes makes people laugh when they first hear it, but it’s just the name we went with. The office is a small ground-floor space that’s easy to get into from the street. It’s not a shiny new glass building like you see in some parts of the city. It’s an older place with a bit of character and some cracks in the floor tiles. I spend most of my time here dealing with the day-to-day stuff that comes up. Mumbai is always loud and crowded, so having this little spot to call our own is important. We have a few old filing cabinets and a desk that wobbles a little if you lean on it too hard. I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. The neighbors are mostly other small business owners and families who have been in Matunga for generations. We don’t have a big staff, just a couple of us who know how to handle the work. It’s a very honest way to earn a living. I usually grab a snack from the vendor on the corner when I need a break. It's just a regular workplace where we try to stay on top of things without making it complicated.
