Sharad Marotarao Kannamwar

Our place is on the ground floor of Radha Kunj in Lokmanya Tilak Nagar. It’s part of the Vora Estate in Mahim. If you’re looking for Sharad Marotarao Kannamwar, this is where we spend our days. It’s actually a flat that we’ve turned into an office space. Because it's on the ground floor, it stays a bit cooler than the upper levels, which is nice in the summer. We have a small porch area where we sometimes keep extra files or just sit for a minute. The neighborhood is mostly residential, so it's quieter than the main roads. You can hear kids playing outside sometimes or the neighbors talking. It feels more like a home than a business, which suits us just fine. We have a few desks squeezed in and a lot of books on the shelves. Most of our work involves a lot of reading and writing. We don't have a receptionist, so if the bell rings, whoever is closest just goes to the door. It’s a very informal way of doing things, but it has worked for us for years. We know the people living in the building and they know us. We try not to make too much noise. The walk from the station isn't too bad if you know the shortcuts through the estate. It’s a humble spot, but it’s where all our work gets done, day in and day out. Sometimes the stray cat from the garden comes in to say hello.
