Pranali Shivkar

This is Pranali Shivkar's place. We've been here in Sion Koliwada for a while now. Most people around Mumbai know the area, it gets busy. We're just trying to get through the daily work and keep things moving. Sometimes the rain makes it hard to get to the shop, but we open up anyway. It's just a regular spot in the 400022 zip code. Not much to look at from the outside, but we are here every morning. My family helps out when things get backed up. We don't have a big fancy office or anything like that. Just a desk and some chairs where we handle what needs doing. It's practical. If you walk down the main road in Koliwada, you'll eventually find us. We've seen the neighborhood change quite a bit over the years. Lots of new buildings going up, but we're still in the same spot. It’s a bit noisy with the traffic outside, but you get used to it after a few months. We just focus on the tasks at hand and don't worry too much about the rest. Usually, we're here until late evening unless something comes up. It’s a simple setup. Nothing special, just Pranali Shivkar doing business in this part of Maharashtra. We keep our records in old folders and try to stay organized as best as we can. It’s hard work, but it’s what we do every single day without much fuss.
