Ashlin Spices & Herbs Traders Private Limited

Ashlin Spices & Herbs Traders Private Limited is over at 25C/2, Govalan Nagar, 1st Street. It’s a pretty easy place to find once you get into the neighborhood. We deal with spices and herbs, so the whole building usually has this strong, earthy smell that sticks to everything. It’s not a bad smell, just very heavy. We spend our days sorting through different leaves and seeds. It’s a lot of manual work, looking at things closely to make sure they are okay. We have a small warehouse space and a little office in the front. Most of the time we are back in the storage area moving bags around. It’s dusty work and you have to wear old clothes if you don’t want them ruined. Ashlin Spices & Herbs Traders Private Limited is run by just a handful of us. We aren't some massive company with a board of directors. We just make the decisions ourselves around a small table. Sometimes we have a lot of stock and other times the shelves look a bit bare while we wait for a delivery. That’s just the nature of the trade. We like being on 1st street because it’s quiet enough for us to get our work done without too many distractions. We don’t have a fancy website or anything. We just rely on the people we know. It’s a good, quiet way to make a living.
