Amogh Paranjape

This is basically home for us, over at the Gajanan Chaitanya Apartments in Pune. Amogh Paranjape is the name on the door. It’s not a big corporate office with a sign on the roof. It’s just where we live and work. Pune is a big city, but our little corner in the apartments is pretty quiet most of the time. We have a room set aside for all the business stuff. There are bookshelves and a desk that’s a bit too small for everything we try to put on it. Sometimes the neighbors’ kids are playing outside and you can hear them through the window. It makes it feel more like a real place than a cold office. We spend a lot of time on the phone or typing away. It's just a one-person or small family type of thing. We don't have meetings in boardrooms. We usually just talk over tea in the kitchen or at the small table. It’s been this way for a while now. We like the flexibility of being in the apartments. You get to know the security guards and the other people living here. It's not a fancy life, but it works for us. We just handle our business as it comes in. There aren't any big plans to move to a huge building. We like it right here in Pune, just doing our daily work in a place that feels comfortable and honest. It is a simple way of living and working that suits us just fine.
