Boss International

Boss International is up on the second floor of the Krishna Complex. We’ve been in Madhupura for a while now, and it’s a busy part of Ahmedabad. There’s always something going on in the streets below, lots of noise and people moving around. Our office isn't anything fancy. It’s just a regular place where we keep our files and do our daily work. There are some old fans that hum all day to keep the heat away, especially in the summer. Sometimes the elevator stops working, so we just take the stairs to the second floor. It's a bit of a climb but we don't mind. We don't have big signs or polished furniture. My desk is usually a mess of papers and half-empty tea cups. We just handle international trade stuff as it comes. It’s a small group of us here, and we’ve known each other for a long time. We know the guy who brings the chai and the neighbors who run the shops downstairs. We don't really do the whole corporate thing with big meetings. We just talk over our desks and get things done. It’s a simple way of working. Ahmedabad gets really hot in the afternoons, so we tend to slow down a bit then, but the work always gets finished. We like being in Hatipura. It feels like a real place with real people just trying to make a living.
