Deepak Panchal

The place where Deepak Panchal works is located on Maulana Azad Road in Chand Bagh 3. It’s a simple setup in a very busy part of the city. You have to navigate through a lot of people and rickshaws to get to us, but that’s just how it is in this neighborhood. The room we use is small and doesn't have much in the way of decoration. We have some basic furniture, a few chairs for guests, and a desk that is usually covered in notebooks and a laptop. It gets quite warm in the summer, so the ceiling fan is almost always on its highest setting. We don't spend money on fancy marketing or big signs. Most people find us just by knowing the address or hearing about us from someone else nearby. We spend the day talking to people and handling various tasks that come our way. It’s not a corporate environment at all; it feels more like a small family-run spot. We usually have some tea around mid-morning, and sometimes the neighbors stop by just to say hello. There’s no complicated hierarchy here. We just show up and do the work that needs doing. When the day is over, we lock up the shutters and head home like everyone else on Maulana Azad Road. It’s a very grounded way of working, and we prefer it that way. We don't need much more than a desk and a bit of space to be productive.
