Sajida Tasneem

I work from my place at H.No 37-21 in Defence Colony. It’s located in the Sainikpuri area of Secunderabad. My name is Sajida Tasneem. This house has been my base for quite a while now. I’ve turned part of it into a working space so I can manage things easily. Being in 500594, it’s a nice enough locality, fairly quiet compared to the main city areas. I don't have a team of employees. It is mostly just me handling the day-to-day tasks. I started doing this because I wanted something of my own to manage. The hours can be long, and sometimes I find myself working on weekends too. It’s not a polished business with a big marketing budget. I rely on people knowing me and the work I do. The room I work in is filled with files and bits of equipment. It’s a bit messy, to be honest, but I know where everything is. Secunderabad has a specific feel to it, and I like being part of this community. I don't use any fancy mission statements or slogans. I just try to be practical and get the jobs finished on time. Sometimes the internet acts up or the water supply is an issue, but we just manage. It’s a real, everyday life here. I enjoy the independence it gives me, even when the work gets a bit much for one person.
