East West Exports & Imports

Our office is over on Marshalls Road in Egmore, specifically at No. 54/1. It’s a pretty old building, and if you’ve ever spent time in Egmore, you know how crowded and hectic it gets with all the cars and people rushing toward the railway station. We’ve been at this spot for a long time, back since when the building was still known as old number 70. East West Exports & Imports is just the name we have on the door and the letterhead. Inside, the place is mostly filled with stacks of old files and a couple of computers that make a lot of noise. The walls could definitely use a fresh coat of paint, but we always seem too busy with the daily grind to actually get it done. There’s always another shipment to track or a vendor calling us about some delay at the port. We handle a bit of everything that comes through. Sometimes the humidity in Chennai makes the office feel quite stuffy, so we just open the windows and put up with the street noise instead. It’s a very busy spot to work in. We aren't some massive corporation with hundreds of employees. It’s just a handful of us trying to keep the ledgers balanced and the customers happy. We drink way too much coffee from the little stall just down the street. Being in Egmore means we’re in the middle of everything, which is good for logistics but terrible for finding a place to park. We just do the work.
