Shafeeq Shameel & Co.

Shafeeq Shameel & Co. is located at Number 55 on EVK Sampath Road in Vepery. It’s an older part of Chennai, and our building has that classic look to it. We’ve been operating from this same spot for a lot of years. The office has large windows that let in the street noise, which is just something we’ve gotten used to. We deal with leather goods and exports mostly. Inside, you’ll find old wooden furniture and stacks of ledgers. We haven't changed much over the decades because the old ways of doing things still work for us. We don't have a website that looks like a tech company’s. We prefer talking to people face-to-face or over a phone call. Vepery is a good neighborhood with a lot of history, and we feel like we are a small part of that. We don't use big words to describe our business or make ourselves sound more important than we are. We just open the doors every morning, check the mail, and handle whatever orders come our way. It’s a steady pace of work. Sometimes the rain floods the street a bit, but we just wait it out. It’s a simple life running a business here. We value the relationships we’ve built with our neighbors and the people we trade with over the years. That’s really all there is to it.
