Patni Computers

Patni Computers is located in Challenger Tower III over in Thakur Village, which is part of Kandivli East in Mumbai. Being in a residential tower means we see a lot of our neighbors. It is a bit different than having a shop on a main road, but it works out well for everyone in the building and the surrounding village area. We spend our days looking at laptops that have had water spilled on them or desktops that won't boot up after a power cut. Since we are right here in the residential block, people often just call us up or walk over when their internet stops working or their screen goes black. It is a very informal setup. You might see us carrying a monitor through the lobby or chatting with the security guards while we wait for a delivery. Mumbai life is fast, so we know people need their tech back quickly so they can work from home. We don't have a big marketing plan or a fancy website. Most people just find out about us through word of mouth or seeing our name on the building directory. It is just a practical way to run a small business. We like being part of the Thakur Village community. It is a nice spot and there is always something going on. We just keep our heads down and focus on the machines. It is simple, everyday work and it keeps us busy enough throughout the week.
