Sachin Raje

Sachin Raje is the name on the door over in Malad East on Carpenter Street. I’m located in the Dheeraj Uphar building, right on the fourth floor in unit D 411. It’s a bit of a climb if the lift isn't working properly, which happens sometimes during the monsoon season. The space is basically just me and my work materials. I spend a lot of time at my desk dealing with whatever projects are on the go at the moment. Being on the fourth floor means it’s a bit away from the dust and the noise of the street, which is a nice change. Malad East is a busy place, but Carpenter Street has its own rhythm that you get used to. I usually start my day early before the afternoon heat gets too bad for everyone. There’s a small fan that sits right next to me on the desk. I don't have a big staff or a fancy reception area with a sofa. It’s just a practical workspace where I can think and get things done without too many distractions. Sometimes I hear the kids playing in the building courtyard downstairs or the sounds of someone cooking in the apartment next door. It feels very much like a part of the local neighborhood here. I have a lot of folders and notebooks where I keep track of everything I'm doing. I don't really go for anything complicated, just a simple way of working that keeps things moving forward. People usually give me a call before they come over because I might be out running errands or meeting someone else. It’s a modest setup but it suits me fine.
