Santosh Gaikwad

We work out of Vasant Patil Chawl, specifically room 8/9 in Azdegaon. It is near Tilak College on Kalyan Road in Dombivli East. Santosh Gaikwad is the one who started all of this. It is a very local area, and our office is as simple as it gets. We don't have air conditioning or fancy chairs. Most of the time, the door is open to let some air in. Because we are near the college, there are always students walking by. We do a variety of small tasks here. We don't have a website with professional photos or anything like that. People in the neighborhood just know us. We have seen a lot of changes in Dombivli over the years, but our little spot stays the same. There is usually a pot of tea sitting somewhere in the room. We don't have a formal dress code; we just wear what is practical for the heat. We aren't trying to build a big company. We are happy staying right here in the chawl. It is a lot of work, but it is honest work. We don't make big promises. We just tell people what we can do and then we do it. It is a very grounded way to live and work. We know our neighbors and they know us, which is how we like it.
