Prabhakar Karekar

The 17th Cross area over here in Mahim is usually buzzing with people coming and going. We are right on Sampige Road, specifically in Block No C 14 of the Bal Govind Society. If you know the society, you know it’s a decent place with a lot of history. Prabhakar Karekar has been operating out of this spot for quite some time now. It’s funny how you get to know every crack in the pavement when you walk the same path to your door every morning. The Bal Govind Society has a good mix of people, and being in Block C means we see a lot of the daily comings and goings. Sampige Road itself is always a bit of a scramble, but once you step inside, things settle down. It isn't a massive corporate headquarters or anything like that. It’s just a practical space where the work happens. Sometimes the mail gets mixed up because the society is so big, but we usually sort it out with the neighbors. Living and working in Mahim means you’re always near the action, but being tucked into the 17th Cross gives us a little bit of breathing room. The office is small but it fits everything we need. No need for anything fancy when the work speaks for itself. It’s a local operation, through and through, right here in the heart of the society.
