M. G. Overseas

M. G. Overseas is located at 46, Jumerati Bazar. If you have ever been to Jumerati Bazar, you know it is one of those places that is always crowded and full of life. It’s an old part of the city and our building has seen a lot of years go by. We do international trade, which sounds like it might be very complicated, but mostly it is just a lot of checking lists and making sure the containers are where they need to be. Our office isn't very big. We have a couple of desks, a lot of old filing cabinets, and a computer that is a bit slow on Monday mornings. The street noise is constant. You hear the vendors shouting and the rickshaws honking all day. We’ve lived with it for so long that we don't even notice it anymore. We deal with all sorts of goods for export. Some days are completely quiet and we just sit and drink chai. Other days, three things go wrong at once and we are running around trying to fix the paperwork before the customs office closes. We don’t have a marketing department or anything like that. We just do our business with the people we know. It is a simple way of working. We've known some of these folks for twenty years, and that counts for something. We stay here because it’s where we started and it feels like home now.
