S. A. Overseas

Down in Gandhi Gali, things are always moving and it stays pretty loud. We are located at No. 40, right near Katra Ishwar Bhawan in the Thari Baoli area. If you’ve ever been to this specific part of the city, you already know how it is—narrow lanes, lots of porters carrying heavy bags on their backs, and the smell of spices and tea in the air. S. A. Overseas has been right in the middle of all this for a long time. Our office isn't much to look at from the outside, just a practical space where we handle all the overseas trade details and paperwork. It’s an older building, so the stairs are a bit steep and the rooms aren't exactly huge, but it works perfectly for what we need to do. We spend most of our time on the phone or dealing with the logistics side of things. It’s dusty work sometimes, especially with all the construction that always seems to be happening on the main roads. We don’t really do fancy meetings or anything like that. Usually, if a visitor comes by, we just pull up a plastic chair and talk while drinking a glass of chai from the stall downstairs. The rhythm of the market dictates how our day goes. When the market is busy, we’re busy too. We’ve learned to navigate the general chaos of old Delhi over the years. It’s not always easy, especially when the rains come and the streets get messy, but we’ve got a solid routine that keeps us going through it all.
