Patel Exports

Our office is located at 3 Punit Apartment, which is right across from Shrinath Apartment in Maninagar East. It’s a residential area, so it’s much quieter than the main commercial hubs. We like it that way. Most of us live nearby, so the commute isn't bad at all. Sometimes we even walk to work. The apartment we use as an office still feels a bit like a home. It has a small kitchen and a balcony where we keep some plants, though we forget to water them sometimes. Working in an apartment means we have to be mindful of the neighbors, so we don't make too much noise with the crates. It’s a small operation, just a few family members and a couple of helpers. We sit around a big table to do most of the planning. It’s not a corporate environment at all. We wear casual clothes and talk about our families while we work. The address is a bit confusing because there are two Shrinath buildings, but once people find us, they usually remember where we are. We’ve been here for a long time, and we don’t really have any plans to change how we do things. It’s a comfortable rhythm. We handle the exports as they come, taking care of the details ourselves without any big department heads or managers telling us what to do.
