Manish Dushyant Hathi

The office is right here in B-601 at Amber Colony in Kandivali East. If you know the area, it is just opposite the Sai Dham temple. It is a quiet spot most of the time, though the temple area gets quite busy during festivals. Manish started this work a while ago and it has been going on from this same flat for years. You just take the lift up to the sixth floor. There are many families living in this building, so it feels more like a home than a stiff office space. We usually have the windows open to let the air in. Sometimes you can hear the bells from the temple across the road. It helps keep the day calm when things get a bit hectic. There is a small desk by the corner where most of the paperwork happens. Usually, neighbors stop by to say hello while we are working. It is not a fancy corporate setup with glass walls or anything like that. We just have our files and a computer. The morning sun comes into the balcony really nicely around ten o'clock. We drink a lot of tea while going through the daily tasks. It is a simple way of working. Most people who come here are regulars who live nearby in Kandivali. We know the security guards and the local shopkeepers downstairs. It is just a normal day-to-day operation here in Amber Colony.
