Akshay Urja

Akshay Urja is located in Sadashiv Peth. We are in Sidharth Darshan Society, which is No. 645. Sadashiv Peth is one of those old parts of the city where the lanes are narrow and there’s a lot of history. Our office is in a residential-style building, so it feels very local. We deal with solar energy and water heaters. A lot of our day is spent talking to people about how to set these things up on their roofs. We have various charts and components lying around the office. It’s not a very big space, but it’s enough for what we do. We often have to go out and visit sites to see where the panels can go. This means a lot of climbing up to terraces and looking at the sun’s position. The stairs in the society are narrow, so moving equipment can be a bit of a challenge. We’ve been in this society for quite some time now, and we know most of the neighbors. It’s a busy area, especially in the evenings when everyone is out shopping. We try to stay organized with our schedules, but things often change last minute. We drink a lot of tea while we wait for technicians to come back from their calls. It’s a simple way of working. We just focus on getting the solar systems installed and making sure they work like they should. It is just a normal day here.
