M/S Shangrila Exports Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad, India

Our company, M/S Shangrila Exports Pvt. Ltd., is based in Ahmedabad. We are located in the Studio Complex, which is right near the Gota Cross Roads. Gota has changed a lot since we first arrived here. It used to be much quieter, but now there is so much traffic and new buildings everywhere. Our space in the complex is where all the action happens. It is a mix of an office and a storage area. We have boxes piled up in the corners and desks in the middle. It’s a bit of a squeeze when we get new stock in, but we make it work. The staff here are mostly local folks from around Ahmedabad. We start our day early to beat some of the heat. Being near the cross roads makes it convenient for people to find us, though the parking can be a bit of a headache sometimes. We don't have any flashy marketing banners or anything like that on the walls. Just some calendars and maybe a few photos from old office gatherings. It is a practical environment for running an export business. We spend a lot of time on the computer and talking to transporters. It is just honest work in a busy part of Gujarat. We are happy with our spot here and the people we work with every day. It feels like a real place with real people.
