Ravinder Kumar

Working out here in Phase II Gautam Budh Nagar is quite different than being in the middle of the city. I’m Ravinder Kumar, and I’ve been at 197 for a good while now. It’s a bit of a drive for some, but I like the extra space we have. The office isn't anything special to look at. It’s just four walls and the basic equipment we need to do our daily jobs. We started out small and stayed that way on purpose. There’s no big reception area or fancy coffee machine. Usually, I just make a pot of tea in the back room for whoever is here. The neighborhood gets pretty dusty in the afternoons with all the big trucks going by. My desk is usually covered in folders and loose notes. I try to stay organized, but it doesn't always happen when things get moving fast. Most of the people we see are regulars. They know the routine and they know me. We don't do much talking unless it’s about the work at hand. It’s practical work for practical people. If the bell doesn't work, just knock hard on the metal door. The latch sticks sometimes when it’s humid outside. We don't have a big team, just me and a helper. We stay busy enough without needing to shout about it or post ads. The local shop brings us snacks if we are working through lunch.
