Marapaka Kiran Kumar

My name is Marapaka Kiran Kumar and I operate from my home at H. No. 5-25/1 in Thatikonda station village. This is in the Ghanpur area. Being in a village near the station means there is always some movement, but it is still a very rural place. I do a bit of everything to help out the locals here. It’s not like a city job where you have one specific role. One day I might be helping with paperwork and the next I could be looking at a local problem for a neighbor. My house is easy to find because everyone in Thatikonda knows where I am. I don't have a big sign outside or a fancy office. I just work from my porch or the front room. It is a very direct way of doing business. You walk up, we talk, and we see what can be done. I have lived here all my life, so I care about what people think of my work. It is not about making a quick profit; it is about staying a part of the community. Sometimes the weather is bad and everything slows down, or the electricity is a bit spotty, but we manage. I don’t use any complicated business language. I just speak plainly and try to be as helpful as I can to whoever comes to my door looking for assistance.
