Indokem Overseas Ltd-Chennai

Our office is located at 7/3 Ganesh Nagar 1st Street in the Adambakkam neighborhood. It’s a bit tucked away in the backstreets of Brindavan Nagar, so it can be a little hard to find the first time you visit. This is where we manage the overseas side of the chemical and dye business for the Chennai region. It’s a lot of coordination with shipping agents and customs people at the port. The office is small and functional, with a few desks and a lot of binders full of export documents. The humidity in Chennai is something we just have to live with, so the office can feel a bit sticky during the afternoons. We aren't a large team here, just a handful of us managing the logs and the phone lines. There isn't a showroom or anything to see, just a lot of logistics work. We usually have the radio playing in the background while we work through the stacks of forms. Sometimes the street gets a bit loud with the local traffic and the school nearby, but we’re used to it by now. We don't use any fancy management software; we mostly rely on our ledgers and some basic spreadsheets. It’s a straightforward way to run an export business. We just make sure the shipments are moving and the customers are getting their updates when they ask.
