Roshan Exports & Imports

You can find Roshan Exports & Imports at No. 52 Mannady Street. Being in Mannady means it’s always crowded and there’s always something happening right outside the door. The streets are narrow, and sometimes the delivery vans have a hard time getting close, so we end up doing a lot of walking. Our office is a bit old-fashioned. We still use a lot of paper ledgers alongside the computer because it feels safer that way. There’s a specific smell to this part of town, a mix of old buildings and the stuff being moved in and out of shops. We spend our mornings going through the bills of lading and checking the exchange rates. It's a lot of sitting at a desk and then suddenly rushing out to meet someone at the corner. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, but we never seem to find the time to actually clear everything out to do it. We have a few regular guys who help with the loading, and they’ve been with us for years. It’s the kind of place where you know the neighbor’s business and they know yours. We don't really have fancy chairs or a lobby. If someone comes to see us, they just pull up a stool near the main desk. It's just a regular workplace doing regular trade stuff every single day.
