M.B. Kashi



Kashi is a gunman working for Premier security in Bangalore. He is 26 years old from Kodagu and has his own gun licence – that’s why he chose to be a security worker. As a gunman, he earns Rs 6000 per month, but despite being a bachelor, his expenses total Rs 5000, including Rs2000 that he sends home to support his parents every month.


Kashi likes being a security guard, he feels there is usually little tension in the job, but he does face problems at work. “I am always facing transfers (within Bangalore) and that can cost me an extra Rs1000 each month”. That’s not his biggest problem though, as his agency is often paying his salary late, sometimes up to 4 weeks late. “Many guards are leaving Premier because of the late payments. If the problem continues, I will have to find another job”.
