My place is located along the Nigidi Naroda GIDC Road, specifically at units 229 and 230. It's an industrial kind of area, so there are always trucks moving about and the sound of machinery in the distance. I’ve been working out of this space for quite a few years now. It’s a straightforward setup with enough room for my equipment and some storage for materials. I usually get here early in the morning before the traffic on the main road gets too bad. The office part is just a desk and a couple of chairs where I handle the bills and talk to suppliers. I don't really have a big staff, so I end up doing a lot of the work myself. It’s a bit dusty because of the location, but you get used to it. People stop by to discuss their requirements, and we just sit and figure things out. I don't believe in making things more complicated than they need to be. If a job needs doing, I just get to it. Sometimes the power goes out in this part of the GIDC, but we have a backup to keep things moving. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s what I know. I’ve lived in this region a long time and seen it grow from just a few plots to what it is today. I’ll probably be here at this same spot for many more years to come, just keeping things steady.
