Sharad Virsen Bakre

We are tucked away in the Vadgaon Industrial Estate, right behind the Mutha Mangal Kendra. It’s a bit of a quiet corner compared to the main roads, but there’s still plenty of activity going on. If there’s a wedding or a big event at the Kendra, the traffic gets a bit crazy, and we have to navigate around all the parked cars. Our space is pretty basic. We’ve got our equipment set up and we just get to work every morning. It’s an industrial area, so there’s always the sound of machines or someone loading a truck nearby. We don't have a receptionist or a fancy waiting area. Most people who come here are looking for Sharad and they just walk right in. We deal with the usual ups and downs of running a business in an estate like this—power cuts every now and then, or the water acting up. But we’ve been here long enough that we know how to handle it. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but that’s not really a priority when there’s work to be done. We focus on the tasks at hand and try to make sure things go out the door on time. It’s a regular job for us. We like the independence of being here in Vadgaon. It’s a practical place for a practical kind of business.
