Pradeep V Tupe

I’m Pradeep V Tupe and I live and work in Shankar Nagar, which is right in the Lokhandwala area of Andheri. My place is number 604, so it’s up on one of the higher floors. Working from an apartment building in Mumbai means you get used to the sounds of the city, like the distant trains and the constant hum of traffic. Lokhandwala is a very lively neighborhood, there is always something happening outside. I’ve been here for several years now, and the building feels like a small community of its own. My office is basically just one of the rooms in my flat that I’ve dedicated to work. It has a desk, a couple of filing cabinets, and a very comfortable chair because I spend a lot of time sitting there. I don’t have a big team, it’s mostly just me handling the phone calls and the emails. People like coming here because it’s a bit more relaxed than a traditional office building. We usually sit and have some tea while we talk things over. The elevator breaks down once in a while, which is a bit of a pain, but the neighbors are friendly and we always find a way to manage. I like the flexibility of being right here in Andheri. It’s a convenient spot for most of the people I work with, even if the parking is always a nightmare. It’s a simple, honest setup.
