M M S Trading Co

M M S Trading Co is based at 157 Magadi Bakkaseth Chawl, right along LBS Marg. If you know that road, you know how loud and busy it gets with all the trucks and cars. Our place in the chawl is small, but we pack a lot into it. We’re mostly trading different parts and equipment, so there are always boxes arriving or being sent out. It’s a bit of a squeeze when a big shipment comes in. We have to move the chairs just to get the crates through the door. The walls are a bit stained from years of use, and the fan overhead squeaks no matter how much we oil it. We don’t have any corporate branding or mission statements on the walls. Instead, we have calendars and scribbled notes about who owes what. LBS Marg is always humming, and that energy keeps us going through the long afternoons. We deal with all sorts of people, from local contractors to folks just looking for a specific bolt or bracket. We don’t spend much on making the place look pretty. We’d rather just have the stock ready when someone needs it. It’s a simple business model that has worked for us so far. We drink a lot of tea, talk to the delivery drivers, and make sure the accounts are mostly accurate by the time we lock up for the night. That is the daily grind.
