Hemnaaths International

Hemnaaths International is based over on Broadway. The address is a bit confusing because it’s New No 157 but also Old No 78, which happens a lot in this part of town. We are right in the thick of things. Broadway is always loud and full of people, which we’ve gotten used to over the years. We do trading and international business stuff from this small office. It’s packed with ledgers and files from floor to ceiling. We don't have a lobby or anything like that. If you come in, you’re basically standing in our workspace. We spend a lot of time tracking shipments and talking to people in different time zones. It’s a lot of sitting and typing, then a lot of rushing around when a cargo container arrives. We don't use any corporate jargon. We just try to make sure the goods move from one place to another without too much trouble. Sometimes the rain leaks a little near the window, so we have to move the papers. We’ve been here so long that we know the tea seller downstairs by his first name. It’s a grit-and-grind kind of business. We don't have a website that looks like a movie; we just have a phone and a desk. It works for us and we’ve made a lot of friends in the trade this way.
