Ashish Dev

I’m Ashish Dev and you can find me at C-466 in Wazir Nagar, which is right in the Kotla Mubarakpur area near South Extension-I. If you have ever been to Kotla, you know how crowded and tight the lanes are. It is a very busy part of New Delhi and there is always something going on outside the door. My place is right in the middle of all that chaos. I’ve been working from this spot for a good while now. The room is small and sometimes it gets a bit stuffy, especially during the monsoon when the humidity is high. I don't have a big corporate staff or a fancy reception desk. It’s just me and a small desk where I try to keep everything organized. Sometimes it feels like the paperwork is winning, but I manage to get through it eventually. I usually grab a quick lunch from one of the local stalls nearby because the food is good and cheap. There isn’t anything special about how I run things. I don't have a grand vision or a long-term strategy that I talk about. I just take the work as it comes and try to do it right the first time so I don’t have to do it again. The neighborhood is loud, with motorcycles constantly zooming past, but once I’m at my desk, I just block it all out and focus on what’s in front of me.
