Oriental Shipping Corporation

You can find Oriental Shipping Corporation on the first floor of 4638/21 on Ansari Road. Daryaganj is a busy spot, especially with all the bookshops and the traffic, so being on the first floor gives us a little bit of a break from the noise on the street. We handle shipping matters, which basically means we spend our days on the phone or computer trying to figure out where containers are. It’s not the most exciting job to describe, but it’s important for the people we work with. The office is a bit cramped because of all the ledgers and files we keep around. We’ve thought about moving to a bigger place, but we like being in Daryaganj. There’s a certain feel to this neighborhood that you don’t get anywhere else. Our team is small, just a few of us who know the ropes. We don't use any fancy software that claims to do everything; we mostly rely on experience and knowing who to call. Sometimes a shipment gets stuck, and we have to spend the whole afternoon sorting it out. That’s just the nature of the business. We don't have a big sign outside, so you have to look for the number 4638/21. It’s a no-frills kind of place, and that suits us just fine. We just keep our heads down and do the work every day, making sure things get where they need to go.
