RANSAI RESORTS LLP

Mumbai, Churchgate. Marine Lines. Dalamal Chambers. 3rd floor. It’s an old building. The elevators are sometimes slow. We are right in the middle of everything. You can hear the trains from here sometimes. The office is small but it works for us. We manage the resorts from this room in Mumbai. It’s a lot of paperwork. Vitthaldas Thackarsey Marg is always crowded. There are so many offices in this building. We’ve been here for a while now. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we’re too busy for that. We deal with bookings and staff issues from here. It’s a different world from the actual resorts. Out there it’s quiet, here it’s just Mumbai noise. We have tea together in the afternoon. Usually, someone brings snacks. We aren't some big multinational. Just a small team in Churchgate trying to keep things running smoothly. The monsoon is the worst because the windows leak a little bit. But we like being near the sea. Even if we don't see it from the office, we know it's there. It's a practical place to work. No big signs or anything. Just the name on the door and us inside working. Sometimes the noise from the street is so loud we have to shout to hear each other. We get a lot of couriers coming in because of the business. We keep a stash of cookies in the drawer. The building manager is strict about the parking, so we take the train. It's faster. We've seen this part of Mumbai change.
