Shivshambhu Mitramandal

Shivshambhu Mitramandal is based over in Kandivali West, specifically around 10th Cross in I H Township. We aren't really a big business in the way people usually think. It’s more of a local group where people from the township come together for various things. We’ve been at building 25 for quite a while now. Most of our time is spent organizing small events for the neighborhood or just helping out when someone has a problem with their local paperwork or something similar. The space we have is small, just a room with some chairs and a table that’s seen better days. You’ll usually find a few of us sitting there in the evenings, drinking tea and talking about what needs to be done in the area. It’s all very informal. We don’t have a website or a marketing person. If someone needs us, they just walk over and knock on the door. During festival times, it gets very busy and we all end up working late to get everything ready. It’s just about being part of the community and making sure things run okay for the people living nearby. There’s always someone coming in with a question or a suggestion. We don’t always agree on everything, but we figure it out eventually. It’s just how things work here in the township. We don't have fancy titles or anything, just neighbors helping neighbors out as best as we can.
