Black Hood Import & Export (Opc) Private Limited

Being on Arcot Road in Kodambakkam means you're always in the middle of everything. Our office is at New Number 66, which used to be Number 356. It’s a busy stretch of Chennai where the traffic never really stops. Black Hood Import & Export is a one-person company, though there’s usually someone around to help out with the heavy lifting. The office is tucked into a building that has seen better days, but it serves our purpose perfectly. We deal with a lot of different goods, coming in and going out. Most of the day is spent tracking containers or talking to people at the port. It gets noisy with the buses and cars honking outside, but you get used to it after a while. We don’t have a fancy lobby or a receptionist. If you come by, you’ll probably find me at my desk surrounded by invoices and shipping manifests. It’s a practical way to run a business. I chose Kodambakkam because it’s central and easy for people to find, even if the parking is a bit of a nightmare. Sometimes I walk down the road to get a quick bite when things get too busy. It’s a tough business with a lot of moving parts, but I just take it one step at a time. The heat in Chennai is no joke, so the fan is always running in the background while I work. It is a simple life and a simple office.
