Kishor Chimanlal Hathiwala

You can find our office at number 206 on Ring Road. It’s right in the middle of a very busy industrial and commercial stretch, so there is never a quiet moment during the day. Kishor Chimanlal Hathiwala has been working from this location for many years, and the space definitely shows its age. We have old metal filing cabinets that are stuffed to the brim and a large table where we unroll big sheets of paper to check the details. The air smells a bit like old paper and ink, which is something we’ve just grown used to over time. We don't spend money on decorations or fancy furniture because that’s not what we are about here. We are here to work and that’s what we do from early morning until the sun goes down. Ring Road is a tough place to park, so we mostly see people who are already in the neighborhood or don't mind walking a bit to reach us. We spend a lot of time on calculations and making sure the numbers add up correctly before we send anything out. It’s not the kind of job where you wear a suit and tie. Most days we are in simple clothes, ready to head out to a site or climb over some construction materials if we have to check a measurement. We take things one day at a time and try to stay on top of the pile of work sitting on the desk.
