Korekar & Associates

Our place is in the Shakuntal Complex, specifically at U 11/12 in the Adajan area near Surya Nagar. It’s right by Dr Ambedkar Chowk, which is a busy spot where everyone seems to be in a hurry. The complex itself is an older building, so the stairs can be a bit steep if you aren't used to them. Inside the office, it’s mostly just us working away at the computers and looking through old records. We have a lot of cupboards filled with documents because that’s just the nature of what we do here. The windows look out toward the chowk, and you can hear the horns honking all through the day. It’s not a very quiet place, but you get used to the city sounds after a week or two. We try to keep things organized, though sometimes the piles of paper get a bit out of hand when it’s a busy month. There’s a small water cooler in the corner that makes a glugging sound every now and then. We don’t do much decorating; there are just a few chairs and the desks we use every day. People come in with their problems, and we sit down and try to sort through the details one by one. It’s just regular office work in a part of Surat that never seems to stop moving. We stay until the work is done, usually closing up as the streetlights come on and the traffic finally slows down a little.
