Apex International

Working out of 8A/44 Wea Channa Market in Karol Bagh means there is never a dull moment. If you’ve ever been to Karol Bagh, you know it’s a maze of shops and shoppers and people pushing carts. Apex International is tucked right into the thick of it. Our space is filled with boxes stacked almost to the ceiling. We deal with international trade, so we are always checking shipping schedules and worrying about customs. It’s a lot of coordination. The phones ring constantly and there is always someone looking for a tracking number. We don't have a quiet corner to sit in. Even during lunch, we are usually sitting on a crate eating our tiffin. The walls are covered in calendars and notes scribbled on scraps of paper. It’s a bit chaotic, but there’s a system to it that only we really understand. Sometimes a shipment gets delayed at the port and we have to spend the whole day on the phone trying to fix it. It’s the kind of job that follows you home, but we enjoy the fast pace. We aren't a massive firm with hundreds of employees. We are just a small group trying to navigate the world of exports and imports from a busy market street in Delhi. It takes a lot of patience and a lot of coffee to keep things running smoothly, but we’ve been doing it for years.
