Unique International

Unique International is tucked away on the first floor of Shivaji Market at number 251. If you know the market, you know it’s a bit of a maze. You have to walk up the narrow stairs and past a bunch of other shops to find us. It’s always crowded downstairs with people buying and selling all sorts of things. Up here, it’s a bit different. We handle the international side of things, mostly coordinating shipments and talking to people on the phone. The office is small and the walls are thin, so you can hear everything going on in the market below. We have stacks of files everywhere. It isn't a place where you'd expect to find an international business, but it works for us. We’ve been in this spot for years. The tea stall right outside the market entrance is where we get our morning start every day. It gets really busy during the middle of the day and sometimes it feels like there isn't enough space to move. But we like the energy of Shivaji Market. It keeps us on our toes. We don’t have any fancy signs or a big lobby for visitors. It’s just a couple of rooms where we get the job done. Every day is a bit of a scramble to get the papers sorted and the calls made, but that’s just how it goes here. We just keep working through the noise.
