Ashfaq Ahmed & Co

We are located in Shivaji Nagar at 17/3. The office is right on the ground floor, which makes it easy for people to just walk in from the street. We’re quite close to the Jumma Masjid, so we hear the calls for prayer throughout the day, which gives the place a nice rhythm. It’s a very local feel here. The street outside is always busy with people walking by and small shops selling all sorts of things. Inside, the office is pretty basic. We have a few desks, some old filing cabinets, and a lot of papers that seem to pile up no matter how much we file them. We handle our business in a very traditional way. There isn’t a lot of formality here. If someone needs something, they just come in and ask. We’ve known many of our clients for years, so it’s more like talking to neighbors than doing business. Sometimes it gets a bit loud with the traffic and the people outside, but we’ve grown used to it over the years. We usually keep the door open to let some air in, even if it brings in a bit of dust. It’s just an honest day’s work in a part of the city that never really stops moving. We don't try to be anything we aren't; we're just a small company doing our job in the heart of the neighborhood. The evening market nearby is always something to see after we close up.
