Apurva Sachdev

Out here in Sasauli, things move at a bit of a slower pace than the big cities. We’re located in the Aurai area of Muzaffar Pur, Bihar. It’s a real place with real people, and Apurva Sachdev is part of the local landscape here. The 843312 pin code covers a lot of ground, but everyone around here knows where we are. It’s not a fancy setup with glass walls or air conditioning in every corner. We mostly deal with the heat and the dust like everyone else in this part of India. The office is simple. We have the basic things we need to get through the day. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just wait it out or find something else to do that doesn't need a plug. It’s the kind of place where people stop by to say hello and maybe stay for a glass of water. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just about getting the work finished and going home to our families. The roads can be a bit rough during the monsoon season, but we manage to get in every day. You can hear the sounds of the village and the nearby fields from the doorstep. It’s a practical environment. We don't pretend to be something we aren't. We just work here and live our lives in Muzaffar Pur, doing what needs to be done. It's just the way things are around here and we're used to it.
