Govind Upadhyay

My name is Govind Upadhyay and my business is located at A-167 in Gulab Bagh, which is part of Uttam Nagar here in New Delhi. Uttam Nagar is a very packed area and Gulab Bagh is no different. You’ll see a lot of rickshaws and people moving about at all hours. I’ve lived in this area for years, so I’m used to the pace of it. My work setup is nothing to brag about. It is just a simple room with a table, a lamp, and some shelves for my books and papers. I don’t have any employees or a big budget for fancy things. I just do the work myself and keep track of everything in my ledger. Sometimes the neighbors come over to borrow something or just to talk about the local happenings, which can slow things down, but that’s just part of being in a community like this. The address 110059 is home to me. I start my day early before the heat gets too bad and I usually finish up by the evening. I don’t have any mission statements or big goals written on the wall. I just want to do a decent job and make enough to keep things going. It’s a bit dusty and the internet can be spotty sometimes, but I make it work. It’s just a normal life and a normal business without any of the extra polish you see in the magazines.
