K. P. Manish Global Ingredients Pvt. Ltd.

K. P. Manish Global Ingredients is located right on 41, Raghunayakulu Street in Park Town. If you know this area, you know how crowded it gets during the day. Trucks are always trying to back into tight spaces and people are constantly moving boxes around. Our building is one of those old ones with narrow hallways and a lot of character. We deal with ingredients, which means the place often has a bit of a mixed smell, sometimes sweet and sometimes more like chemicals or spices. It depends on what we have in stock that week. There is a small crew of us here. We spend a lot of time on the phone or checking lists against what’s actually on the shelves. It’s not a glamorous job. We have stacks of paperwork on the desks and the computer is a bit slow in the afternoons. Lunch is usually eaten quickly at the back because there is always something needing attention. Park Town is a hub for this kind of trade, so we see a lot of the same faces every day. We’ve been at this for a while and we know the rhythms of the street. It’s a lot of physical work, moving bags and heavy containers, but it’s what we do. We don't have any big speeches about what we do. We just make sure the ingredients get where they need to go without too much trouble.
