Shivkumar Agrawal & Co

Our firm, Shivkumar Agrawal & Co, is located on the seventh floor of the Golden Plaza on Ring Road. We’ve got units 701 through 703, so we have a decent amount of space across the three rooms. We’re right near the old Kinnary Cinema, which is a landmark most people in Surat still remember even if they don't go to movies there anymore. Being up on the seventh floor means we’re a bit removed from the noise of the street, though you can still hear the faint honking if you listen closely. The office is a bit of a mix of everything. We have some newer desks and some that have been with us since the beginning. There’s always a lot of movement between the three units as we pass files back and forth. We don't have a professional decorator, so the walls are mostly covered in calendars and old notices. It feels like a lived-in space because it is. We spend a lot of our time here, often late into the evening. The lifts in Golden Plaza can be a bit temperamental, so we always tell people to give themselves an extra five minutes to get up to us. It’s a busy, practical office where we focus on the task at hand rather than how things look. We aren't fancy people, and our office reflects that. It’s just a place where work happens every day.
