Padmaja T Naidu

Padmaja T Naidu's place is over at 55 Kothrud, which is a part of town that has changed a lot since we first started out here. Kothrud has grown so much, but our little corner remains pretty much the same day to day. We don't have a big staff or a huge corporate office; it’s more of a personal setup where the focus is on the work right in front of us. Most of the time, the desk is covered in papers and the tea has gone cold because we got distracted by a phone call or a visitor. We try to keep things simple and avoid all the unnecessary drama that usually comes with running a business. People stop by 55 Kothrud for all sorts of reasons, and we do our best to help them out with whatever they need. The trees outside give a bit of shade during the hot afternoons, which is nice when we’re sitting through long meetings or just trying to get through the afternoon slump. It’s a quiet area for the most part, though the traffic on the main roads can be heard in the distance. We’ve been part of this community for a long time now, and we’ve gotten to know the families and the other shop owners nearby. It’s just a regular life of working hard, staying organized, and being a familiar face in a neighborhood that we’ve come to call home. There is always something to do, so we stay busy.
