Merchant, Ahila Exports Private Ltd., Chennai

You can find Ahila Exports Private Ltd over in Mylapore at Raasi Towers. We are on the third floor at No. 5. This part of Chennai, specifically J.P Avenue and Dr. Radha Krishnan Salai, is always crowded with cars and people. It is a very central location for us. We focus on the merchant side of things, specifically for export markets overseas. The office is usually full of files and samples of whatever we are shipping out at the time. Being near the port area of Chennai helps with the logistics side of things. Our team is small but we have been doing this for quite a while now. We spend a lot of time on the computer and talking to suppliers across the country. It is a typical city office feel. We deal with all the customs paperwork and the shipping schedules. It can be stressful when a ship is leaving and things aren't ready, but we usually figure it out eventually. We don't really have a reception desk or fancy decorations. It is just a place where we get the work done. The heat in Chennai can be a bit much in May, but the office has a few fans going all day. We just try to get the goods from point A to point B without too many headaches. It is a straightforward export business and we stay focused on our daily tasks.
