Siva Prasad Pattnaik

This is Siva Prasad Pattnaik. I’m over here at H.No.20-1419 in Papi Reddy Colony, which is part of the Chandanagar area in Hyderabad. I’ve been operating from this house for a few years now. It’s a residential area, so it’s mostly families and small local shops around us. I decided to set up here because it’s easy for people to find and it’s close to where I live. My work day usually starts early before the Hyderabad heat really kicks in. I spend most of my time at my desk, handling various requests and keeping track of all the small details that come with running a business like this. It’s not a huge company with a lobby or a receptionist. If you come by, you’ll probably just see me or one of my family members. We keep things very low-key. Most of the people I work with have been coming to me for a long time, so they know the drill. We don't spend money on posters or radio ads. It’s all about doing the job right so people come back next time. Chandanagar is growing fast, but Papi Reddy Colony still feels like a neighborhood where people look out for each other. That’s how I try to run things too, just being a regular person doing honest work and making sure everything is handled correctly for the people who ask.
