Shiva Prasad

My name is Shiva Prasad and I run my operations out of Flat No. 402 in Sairam Apartments. We are located in Sainagar, Malkajgiri. It’s a decent residential area in what used to be called Andhra Pradesh, now part of the local landscape here with the pin code 500 047. Being on the fourth floor gives me a bit of a view, though it’s mostly just other rooftops and trees. It’s a quiet place to work, which is exactly what I need. I started this in my own flat because it was the most practical way to get going. There aren’t any big lobbies or security guards checking your ID at every turn. It’s just an apartment building where I live and work. Sometimes the neighbors’ kids are playing in the hallway, and you can hear them laughing, which is fine by me. I’ve been here for several years and I know the local shops and people pretty well. It’s not a fancy business setup with a boardroom. I just have a computer, a printer, and a lot of folders. I try to stay on top of my tasks every day. It’s a very personal way to run things. I don't really have a big team helping me, so I do a bit of everything myself. That’s just the way it goes when you’re starting out or keeping things small. It keeps me busy and I like the independence.
