Ashmita Associates

Ashmita Associates is at number 72 in Rajamal Ka Talab, right across from the Axis Bank ATM in Janta Bazar. Being in the middle of a bazar means there is never a quiet moment. You can hear the vegetable sellers and the sound of people bargaining right from our front door. Our office is a small room with a couple of old wooden desks and chairs that have been around for years. We handle a lot of paperwork and people often drop in because they saw our sign while they were at the ATM or shopping for groceries. The walls are covered with old calendars and some charts that we use for our work. It’s a bit cramped when more than three people are inside, but we make it work. Janta Bazar is a maze of small lanes, but since we are near a landmark like the bank ATM, people usually find us without too much trouble. We spend our time filling out forms, talking to locals, and trying to keep our files organized, which is a constant battle. The light in the office isn't the best, but we have a few bright bulbs that do the trick. It’s a very local, down-to-earth place where we know the names of the people who walk past every day. Most of our afternoons are spent drinking tea and catching up on the neighborhood news between our regular tasks.
