FORBES GOKAK LTD.

We are located at number 9 in the Mill Officer Colony. It is tucked away behind La Gajjar Chambers, so it is a little harder to find if you are just driving down Ashram Road for the first time. Ashram Road is always a mess with the construction and the buses going by. Our office is in a much quieter pocket though. The building is older, with heavy doors and windows that don't always open very smoothly. Inside, we have our desks and some old filing cabinets that have been sitting there for years. We handle various industrial and textile-related matters. It’s a lot of paperwork and looking at technical drawings. The staff has been here a long time. We know the tea shops around the corner well. Sometimes the heat in the afternoon gets a bit much, so we keep the fans going at full speed all day. It’s not a place with a big lobby or a receptionist in a fancy suit. You just walk in and someone will probably look up from their ledger to see what you need. We focus on the daily tasks. Making sure the orders from the mills are processed correctly is what matters. There is a lot of history in a company like this, but we don't really think about it much. We just focus on the stack of papers sitting on the desk today. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it has worked for us for a long time.
