Nitin Malik

Vikas Puri is where I've been based for quite a while. My name is Nitin Malik and I’m specifically at DG-3/190. I’ve been in this part of New Delhi for a long time. It’s a busy residential area, and I like the energy of it. My workspace isn't something you'd see in a magazine. It’s just a room with what I need to work. I don't have assistants or anyone else helping me out. I do everything myself, from answering the door to finishing the projects. Some people find the layout of Vikas Puri a bit confusing with all the blocks, but once you find DG-3, I'm right there. I started doing this because I wanted to be my own boss. It’s not always easy, and some months are slower than others, but I prefer it this way. The winters here are cold, and the summers are boiling, but that's just Delhi life. I keep a small heater or a fan going and just keep at it. I don't have any big slogans or goals other than finishing the work I have in front of me today. It’s a very local way of doing things. I know the neighbors and the local shopkeepers. If you need something, you just come by and talk to me. I don’t like overcomplicating things with too many rules. It’s just me and my work in this little corner of the city. It keeps me going.
